I felt that I should update this blog, as it’s been nearly two months since I’ve contributed anything and new years day is as good a time as any to do so.

I’ve been quiet for a number of reasons; firstly, all of my blogging energy has been put into Crisp Review, with moderate success (Walkers are sending me free crisps!); and secondly I’ve been pumping a lot of energy into my University work, and my Dissertation in particular. I decided that it was better to say nothing, than say something completely banal, and this silence may continue as the demands of my dissertation seem to be increasing exponentially. That said, I may have some musings on booze and food coming shortly, inspired by the Christmas season…

Having apologies for my silence - ostensibly an apology to my imagined readers, but mainly justification to myself - I wanted to extend a word of thanks to all the people who made last year so enjoyable. Don’t worry, I’m not going to descend into a self indulgent nostalgia trip, I just wanted to say it.

Since last time I posted I’ve had a fair few new hot sauces, of which the most notable is Marie Sharp’s Belizean heat, and acquired a new pair of Doc Martens (I know, I know, I swore off them but they were a gift!), but little more of note (that I want to share) has occurred.

There remains little more to say, then, than to wish you all a happy new year, and leave you with this…
