With new beginnings in the horizon, I thought why not channel my inner zen a bit more this new year and be an improved version of myself. I don’t want there to be a new me this year, just a better me. 2018 was a rubbish year for me to put it lightly, so I’m determined to make…

Picture this, a log fire is burning, you’re seated in a cosy countryside pub, the lights are low, the smell of fresh cooking is wafting into the room, and you have a glass of wine in your hand.
