2015 – The best of times and the worst of times… (a mimimalist’s version)

This time tomorrow, 2015 will be a thing of the past and we’ll all be watching the New Year’s Concert from Vienna. It’s been a year of ups and downs…

Best moment: Holding The Attic Room for the first time.
Second and third best moments: Holding the audio version of The Cold Cold Sea and the large print version of The Paradise Trees for the first time.
Most put-off decision: Whether or not to get another dog. And we still don’t know… (all opinions welcome)

 

Worst moment: The malware attack… (but how lucky am I to have an IT professional in the family?)
Most work: Our removal to this flat. It wasn’t quite as much work as moving from the house to the temporary flat, but we still had to pack Every. Single. Thing. And unpack them all afterwards too…

 

Best trip: On a visit to Scotland, I went to the lovely Isle of Arran to visit friends. It was a picture-perfect couple of days.
Best reads: Splinter The Silence by Val McDermid, and The Witness by Jane Bidder.
Best purchase: My document shredder. I hope the novelty never wears off!
Best window: The one with this view…

Nicest surprise: Hitting the number one spot on Vigilant Justice with The Attic Room.
Most popular blog post: This one! I’ll just mention the number 50…

Hopes for next year: More of the same! Health and happiness for my family, another book (news about that in January) – and maybe a dog. Or a cat. Or…
A huge thank you to everyone who has accompanied me through 2015, and I wish you all a happy, healthy and successful 2016!
