Well the end of the decade is nearly upon us, so I thought I’d sit down with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and have some time to reflect on my highlights of 2009 and of all the fun things to come in 2010.

Reflection on 2009

For me I really have made 2009 a turn-around year. I have settled down into my job as a fresh fruit importer and I’m working on a developing my role and my department. I’ve been to some amazing countries and met some amazing people. I have relocated to a fabulous apartment with a flatmate who doesn’t get drunk every night, sing karaoke at 4am and steal my cheese! And I have really developed my contacts in the world of fashion and culture and had some amazing experiences.

Highlights of 2009

• Travelling to Beijing, Tokyo, Berlin, Boussac France, Egypt, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Guatemala, Mexico

Boutique Hotel, Guatemala

• Meeting Sir Roger Moore at the Cubby Brocolli Centenary opening of Bond films at BFI London (I’m a Massive James Bond Fan)

Bond Day at BFI, Southbank, London

• Raising over £1000 for Cancer Research with 10km of running in Race for Life across the country
• Attending London Fashion Weekend at Somerset House in September

London Fashion Weekend, September 2009

• Coming 10th in Windsor 8km race and chopping 4 minutes off my expected time
• Being Bridesmaid and Witness at the lovely wedding of Mr & Mrs Bennett – simply a lovely day for a fabulous couple

What’s to come in 2010

• Breakfast at Tiffany’s the play – with the girlies in January
• London Fashion Weekend in February
• Tunbridge Wells Fashion Week 24-26th February – I’ll be front row and blogging
• Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon 28th February – my first and maybe my last but weirdly I’m looking forward to it
