2019 was a good year for me personally. Across 12 months I was awarded my doctorate, travelled the world, learned how to drive, solarized our house, got a new camera, photographed several hundred stunning walls and lovely birds, met new people, spoke on several Anthropocene-related panels, signed up for the rebellion – and even managed to start writing fiction again. My heart goes out to those out there who haven’t been so lucky. May 2020 bring you happiness, strength and fresh reserves.
