Exciting Plans for 2025, First Party in the Barn & New Year Reflections! (Send Me Your Ideas!)

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m so excited to start 2025 and thought I’d have a cosy chat with you from our snuggly room—it’s been the perfect spot over Christmas. I wasn’t feeling great most of the holidays, but I’m finally on the mend and buzzing about what’s ahead.

I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, but I do love sitting down to brainstorm ideas and think about what I’d like to do. One thing I always do is make a phone screensaver with little reminders of things I’m aiming for—places I’d love to visit, things I’d like to try—it’s such a simple way to stay motivated! This year, I’m especially excited about bringing back Ask Charlie meet-ups and cookery demos. I missed doing those last year, so I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in again.

The house is really starting to feel like home now. We had our first Christmas here, and while I wasn’t 100%, it was still such a special time. Now we’re getting the barn ready for a New Year’s Eve party with friends and family.

There’s so much to look forward to this year, and I’d love your ideas—what would you like to see from me and Ask Charlie in 2025? Let me know in the comments!

Here’s to a happy, healthy, and exciting New Year.

Love, Charlie x
