Well Happy New Year, and welcome back to #PoCoLo - I hope you had a lovely Christmas, were able to take a break and recharge a little, ready for whatever the new year brings. So far here in London, it’s been a continuation of 2020, but on the plus side, surely things can only get better. For me, Christmas was a time to completely switch off, which wasn’t my plan, but it’s what happened.

It’s good to welcome you back to our friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love.

As I said I had plans to catch up with my blog to do list over Christmas, but after a very full on last week of work, thankfully culminating in a very well received staff event which almost broke me, my plans didn’t happen and I didn’t pick my laptop up the whole time. Instead I immersed myself in crafts, which had been much neglected the past few months.

Going back to work on Tuesday, albeit in the same seat where I’d eaten Christmas Dinner I felt refreshed. But with the return to lockdown, the week hasn’t been quite how I imagined - and I’m sure it hasn’t been for many of you either. But we will get through it, and hopefully we’ll be closer to the thriving end of the scale for at least some of the time.

We have made a couple of changes to our linky, and some that I also need to note - my plans to catch up reading your posts didn’t happen, but are still very much my intention - we’re asking you to show more love to the posts linked up. It’s a small change but one hopefully we will all benefit from.
