What a year! Wrapping up 2020... let's be kind, caring & thoughtful!
Welcome to this week's Ask Charlie and my last blog post of 2020!
Wow, what a year it has been.
I had planned that it was going to be such an awesome year. I'd planned a big 40th birthday party, to travel lots, to do lots of fun things, and actually, I've spent a lot of time at home, as we all have.
Who would have thought that things would have turned out like this? I know when we went into our first lockdown, we just thought it was going to be for a few months but it just seems to be ongoing. The news last night that schools might not be opening in January fills me with horror! But we've just got to dig deep, keep on keeping on, and support each other. My big message this year is just that we've got to be kind, caring and thoughtful.
It's not going to be the Christmas that we all want and that we all hoped for. But with the joys of technology, we can communicate with our loved ones. We might not be able to hug, we might not be able to kiss them, we might not be able to see them, but hopefully, the end is almost in sight.
I wanted to give you one last piece of helpful content this year, so I'm sharing my Christmas checklist with you! It's available as a free download by clicking this link. It may not be entirely relevant this year, but it will be in the years to come, so I have put all my important Christmas things that you need to do on it, and you can tick off when you've done them!
You may have already been super organized and done most of these things, in which case this will be then very, very helpful for the years to come.
I also want to chat with you a little bit about 2021 and my hopes and dreams. I'm hoping we can start going back to some sort of normality during the first part of the year!
I am kicking off the year with my 'Ask Charlie - The Ultimate Aga Guide' online course, which I am very excited about! You can enrol now by clicking here - don't forget to use the time-limited discount code 'EARLYBIRD' to get it at its early bird price!
I have so many questions about Aga cooking and how it works. I've done various YouTube videos that are out there for you, but I'm going to be delving a lot deeper. It's going to be a week-long course all about the Aga and will be launching towards the end of January.
Towards the end of February, I shall also be launching my 'Ask Charlie - The Efficient Home' online course, which I have touched on a little bit but will go more into detail on very soon!
As if that wasn't enough, I will also be doing a Spring and Easter course for you. More to come on that soon too!
I am filled with optimism that by the spring of 2021, we can start having some sort of normal life again filled with new hopes, new beginnings, new life and new love. So I thought an Easter course would be wonderful and will make up for our low key Christmas!
Thank you so much for all of your support. Thank you for watching. Thank you for your lovely comments, and your lovely feedback. It means the world to me.
Here's to 2021. Keep safe, have a wonderful Christmas and see you in 2021!
Love,
