2012 My Highlights

As 2013 approaches its nice to look back over a great year. I’ve done some amazing things this year and been to some great events and met some lovely people.
Here’s a look back at my highlights of 2012.

In January I was whisked away to Dublin to see Snow Patrol. We stayed in a beautiful hotel and had an amazing time with lovely food and company.

In March we nipped off for some Birthday sunshine to Fuerteventura, lots of sun, food and a very cold swimming pool.

In April my dream to own a dog came true when we rehomed our beautiful Eddie, a 9 year old Jack Russell who had lots of skin problems and patches of no fur at all. His ears were so badly infected he couldn’t shake his head properly. Within weeks of proper antibiotics and lots of love his coat is shiny and he has so much energy.
I’ve wanted a dog my entire life so April for me was the best month of the year.

In the summer two great events took place and I was so lucky to be a major part of one. The Queens Jubilee in June was a massive weekend of events including the Pageant of boats along the Thames. I was so excited to be the Stage Manager on-board HMS Belfast and was responsible for cueing Tower Bridge to open for the Queens boat to pass under and also cueing the guns on HMS Belfast to fire signalling the end of the Pageant!

I was so nervous. My day job is a Stage Manager but to cue the bridge too late or the guns too early would have been disastrous. It poured it down and I was drenched from head to foot but what an amazing day.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Olympics too and standing and waiting for the Olympic torch to pass was (rainy) but fun too.

In September I finally plucked up the courage to go to London Fashion Week. I saw some amazing shows and had a fantastic time.

I wrote my Beginners Guide to LFW trying to help others to get there next time as well as What I Wore

In November it was my Best friends wedding and I was a bridesmaid. It was such a wonderful day and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.

I also went to some fab events including the NEXT Lock In and the Rekorderlig Winter Forest bar

And December was a busy month at work but my Christmas at home was lovely and a great end to the year.

How was your 2012? What have been the highlights?

Wow, seriously an AMAZING year. Eddie is adorable and how amazing was it being stage manager for HMS Belfast on this special day, truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you for the beginners guide to LFW, I am going to go next year I think with my Mum and it scares me, like someone will turn round and point at me (as the music stops and everyone looks at me in dramatic fashion) “Janine, you are a big fat fraud, you should not be here, get out!” oh how dramatic my imagination is lol, but I am sure you understand what I mean? Well I hope so otherwise you will be like who is this weirdo writing on my blog, delete her quick lol!

My highlight of 2012 was learning to windsurf (I have MS so any sporting activity I can manage always pleases me, most things I can do seem to revolve around water, my Mum thinks I was a mermaid in a past life aw gotta love Mums lol) and also maybe my new boss telling me she was proud of me and that I am going to go far. That might sound like a small thing but in the past I have always been undervalued and given so much to whoever I have worked for so to have it recognised is a wonderful thing, I actually really like my boss, how many people can say that?! wow 🙂 We are going to a gastro pub in the hills of the Pennines to a James Bond ball/disco thing. I will be putting my outfit on my blog tomorrow, can’t wait to get glammed up. OK I will stop rambling on now lol.

Love your blog!

Happy New Year
