The beginning of this first month of a “new” year impacts me as I suppose it does all of us who have hopes, plans, aspirations.
For me the end of this month plunges me further into my seventies as well as marks the completion of the 24th year of this man-in-the-street column. Minor achievements? Okay but achievements all the same. So today’s first 2017 offering will be a bit more personalised than usual. So bear with my own testimony (which might just resonate with you – somewhat.)
