A chance to celebrate a busy, blurred 2018

Work place functions... A great time to catch up and look back on what was hopefully a very success year... 2018 has flashed past and it was great to attend the celebratory luncheon hosted by the Management and Elected Members of the council that I work for. Great in the way that years of service and staff who have gone above and beyond have been able to have their efforts recognised. It is also a wonderful opportunity to see just how big and how broad an employer that a local council is, so many community focused functions being performed day in and day out by an army of willing, capable and passionate people. Finally it was a great chance to reflect back upon the year that has been and remember and recognise all the amazing achievements (awards earned, projects completed, deadlines delivered)…

I am quite lucky to work with a very diverse team, everyone with a plethora of skills we use everyday to run events and workshops, prepare new items for borrowing, find and recommend things for people to read or listen to or see. These tasks never the same except that everyday they are our business as usual.

As we, like many other businesses now close down for Christmas and the focus turns away from work and toward family it is truly terrific to have one big gathering to mark this. Indeed a chance to celebrate as each and every year there is plenty that has gone well.

Focusing on family I wish you all, friends and family both physical and digital a very Merry Christmas and the happiest New Year. For those whose 2018 has been marred by pain and sadness I hope that 2019 proves to be a great year. In fact for everyone I wish for you all only love, joy, success and wonder for a fun fuelled 2019... Enjoy and those who are travelling please travel safe...
