Firstly, hello new readers *waves*, where have you all come from? It’s lovely to see you. Do sit down and have a cup of tea and a vegan cookie. Anything you want to know just ask! 
Ch-ch-changes (as Bowie would say), that’s the topic this morning. Do tell me what you think.

Do you ever look back on your life of a year ago and wonder how so much has changed in just twelve months? Last April I had no idea I would be living in Cambridge again now. I had no idea that I would have sold my yoga business. Last April it hadn’t even really dawned on me that my life in London had started to make me unhappy. I certainly hadn’t realised how unhappy Himself had become there.
Our old house in London (the white one with the blue door, second from the left – not actually the pub)
We were in Paris for my birthday when we suddenly decided to make the move. My birthday is 6th June for all of you wanting to send presents and cards! 
In Pareeeeee! It was freezing. In June. I had all of the clothes I’d brought with me on in this photo. Also I look as though I have been superimposed.
“Let’s just do it,” Himself said as we realised how much we wanted to change our lives.
And we did.
By September we were in Cambridge. Fast workers eh?
In just three short months I sold my yoga business, found a house for us in Cambridge, organised a cross country move and managed to relocate two incredibly temperamental cats without them going insane or peeing in their crates.
However, if somebody had told me this time last year what the next twelve months had in store for me I would have panicked at the thought of it. Too much to organise, too much to co-ordinate! But when it came to actually doing it, everything was plain sailing. And here we are a year later, happier, more settled, able to afford a bigger house, and just look at the view from the back window.
All of this reminds me of the fourth of the Five Remembrances of the Buddha.
All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them.
At first glance that can be quite depressing can’t it? But if you think about it and allow yourself to accept the inevitability of change, embrace it even, life becomes full of anticipation, challenge and wonder. All that was dear to me this time last year has changed. And yet I don’t miss any of it.
What has changed in your life over the last year?
