So, while those of us in MM were burning the last of the furniture to keep warm, you were harvesting your grapes.

Having less (or even no) 'work after work' to do in the evenings and at weekends. I never realised how much work was taking over my free time until I changed jobs. I never intend to let that state of affairs happen again.

Quite right too. It amazes me how many people in this country are prepared to do hours and hours of unpaid overtime at home. One of my primary criteria when I was deciding what career to go for was "how little work can I actually get away with doing?"
Good things in my life ... er ... my band (sometimes). And my girlfriend and our nice cosy (rented) house. Not living in Wolverhampton any more.
1. Setting off for work at 7.50 and being home by 4.35 leaving company business behind.
2. Discovering gliding: Gliding v powered flight is like cycling v motorbikes: same special rituals and outfits, same principals but much quieter, same rivalry - but we all agree it's better than spending the afternoon in a pub, getting bladdered and watching puffball on TV.
3. My partner Louise
4. My Orbea
5. My cat
6. My new stainless steel saucepan set
7. Paying for the education of a boy in Botswana (my sisters project, she died last year and so I picked up her commitment) - it's the best way I can remember Alison.
These are of course not in order of importance - clearly the pans mean most to me.

The first thing that comes into my head is my kids. Well I say kids, but 2 of them are legally adults now - I started early!
2 sons (20 and 12), and a daughter (18). Split up from their mum about 11 years ago but I have always seen them when I can and have a wonderful relationship with all of them. Pure, unconditional love.

My family and partner, who are all wonderful people
My home, which is almost finished after 4 yrs work
My friends, without whom I'd be struggling...
but most of all...
My health, after years of battling with multiple health problems and overcoming a disability I'm finally getting on top of it and feel really well.

Cheesy ass action flicks
Lots of good music around (Iron & Wine, Editors, Coral etc)
Having at least 3 free months to devote to photography when my current job finishes in a week
Seeing the folks again for the first time in months
