The year that I realised the Gremlinette wasn't a child anymore. Smashed har A Levels and buggered off up to the opposite end of the country.

Anashamedly 'me' photo, and one I've posted before, but covers more than the obvious.

Big year of change. 65, retirement. Then returning part-time!

But through the year has been one* constant, continuity through retirement, the Community First Responder role. Earlier in the year was 'buddy' shifts, out with an experienced responder. Issued with my own phone, kitbag and defib in May. Then starting responding solo. Now typically doing 1 or 2 days a week.

* 'family' is sort of a constant. Albeit Foal gave up work and is back at Uni to do an MSc.

The highlight of the year arrived on my birthday in July. Pretty trivial compared to other's family events,but made me happy.

2023 has been equally an utterly brilliant and really terrible year & I'd struggle to choose a single pic to describe it, so here's my entire phone camera roll as of today :)
