Welcome 2025

It’s a new year.

A time for resolutions. A time for planning. The Year of the Snake.

Google/AI says a few nice things about the Year of the Wood Snake:

They’re positive, so I’ll accept that, with thanks.

This week an article in the SMH suggested that if you were having problems coming up with ideas for new year’s resolutions, to imagine that it was the end of 2025 and you were looking back: what would make you feel happy and that you had achieved good things?

For this site, my 2025 resolutions are:

• Make one new mocktail each week
• Focus on using ingredients that are in season – and in my garden
• Use more native bush foods – from my garden
• Learn how to take, and edit, decent photos
• Learn how to take, and edit, videos on making mocktails
• Use social media properly
• And to put some ads or links on the site so that it pays for hosting 🙂

I’ve just upgraded the site to a new theme, to make it faster. There are a few bits and pieces I haven’t put back yet, but that’s fine. I have a year.

Enjoy. x
