January can often bring with it the dreaded January blues – but fear not, because I believe there’s a perfect cure….

… and the cure is give yourself one outing a week. Something planned and something to look forward too.

Without a doubt getting up on a Monday morning to volunteer at the V&A is the greatest motivator for my week. Any week if I’m honest, but especially in January when my mind reaps the rewards of its architectural beauty and the history it holds.

On a personal note, I find myself feeling so grateful to everyone who follows, and has taken up a paid subscription to LLW. This year has been a huge year of change, and I’m thankful for the messages of support I’ve received from this community – they often arrive out of the blue which makes them even more special.

With that in mind I hope you enjoy this New Year’s Super Seven from Winter Lights, art exhibitions and fairs, to a new Lunar Year. I hope you find that one thing that appeals and gets you out.

Wishing you and your families a joyful, healthy and inspiring 2025.
