With many Businesses winding down for the Festive period ( and many individuals away until the 5th January ) , it will be a chance to re-charge the Batteries ,catch up with Friends and Family and reflect on what ,for a lot of people, has been a rather challenging Year . Initial signs are that this ‘Challenging’ period is unlikely to change much this side of Easter 2026 …..but there are now early signs that this could change for the better in the latter half of the Year . Fingers crossed ………and enjoy the Festive period !!
