Happy New Year!
I got a text from my mum in the early hours of this morning wishing me a Happy New Year.
It might seem a bit odd – we're in April, January was three months ago, and Chinese New Year came and went in February. But my mum has decided it would be better for the year to start on April 1st, and honestly it's hard to argue with her logic.
It's when the world comes alive again. Things are growing, the longer days are back, and it's even a new tax year soon! January is quiet and cold and everybody is waiting for it to be over. April feels like a beginning in many ways that January doesn't.
So, Happy New Year I guess!
