My 2008

The last 12 months may not have been the best year ever, but it certainly was not the worst either.

I managed to walk the Great Glen Way from coast to coast in the Scottish Highlands, re-vamped the garden (before -> after), finally printed some photos onto canvas frames for the lounge, and raised £405 for charity by running two half marathons in 7 days.
