2011 - A Retrospective

Oh 2011, where did you go? Well, I'll let you into a little secret 2011, you went straight up to the top of my  'best years ever' list. Yep, you're right up there with 2003, my second-to-last year at university; 1995, when I discovered Radiohead; and 1988, when mum and dad gave me the Sylvanian Caravan for Christmas.

There were a few things I wanted to do before I turned 30, and 2011 turned out to be the year for ticking some of those off (but not all... have to save some for later): wild swimming in the Lake District, staying in a treehouse, successfully baking a loaf of bread, and finishing off my first quilt were the biggies. And, of course, marrying the guy that I love very, very much, and travelling to some very fancy places... It's a shame I didn't blog more really, but here's a visual 'quilt' of the highlights.
