New Hope

New Year’s Day 2020

New hope, New Year, new presents with the Little Viking under the candles on the Norwegian Christmas tree.

Bee believes she may have had a breakthrough. She hardly dares believe it and nor do I… it seems to have happened so often before.

One day it’s got to be real.

Shaun always gives me books for Christmas. Once when our lives were particularly awful, he gave me Maeve Binchy’s This Year is Going to be Different.

It wasn’t.

2008 was the worst yet.

But the next year, it was.

2009 was the best.

One day it will happen.
