2022: A Review

I don’t usually do the whole “looking back at last year” kind of thing, but needless to say, this year has been different.

The big pluses of 2022 were: showing off Scotland to one friend; re-connecting with another friend in Yorkshire; getting to know my cousin and her family; the network of friends I’ve developed here in Kirkwall; and, oddly, the flowers of Orkney (I no longer live near The Willows park, but knowing the changing flowers that will be coming each month – I really need to start walking by there at least a couple of times a week from now on).

I’m not normally one for regrets, but I will say the big minuses of 2022 were: still not making it to the northwest highlands (I’ve been trying since 2018); and losing Uncle Ian.

I already know there are big changes ahead in 2023: here’s to an exciting and fun year!
