It might feel like a strange time to be 'celebrating' anything, at the moment.  A lot of us may feel uprooted, unsettled, have lost our rhythm or routine.  We strongly believe that continuing with our traditions, no matter how big or small, old or new, can help root us, bring us purpose, and keep us going.  Make do and make the most of your extra time, it's not the time to see this confinement as limiting or debilitating.  It's an opportunity to grow, learn new skills, be reminded of old hobbies and re-connect and stay connected with the people you love.  Be grateful for good health and appreciative of the freedom we will have once this passes. 

A time of new year's resolutions and new things in general. What if we simply looked at things we are lucky to have already, in a new light? Instead of getting distracted by shiny new objects, while perhaps sometimes tempting, we also love to celebrate the old, like that pair of trousers from 8 years ago you remembered you had; or at least know how to repurpose old things.  According to WRAP, around 300,000 tonnes of clothing – worth about £140 million – go to landfill every year in the UK alone.
