…to realise that things on The Loddon Eye have been a bit quiet of late. To say the least.
Well the time has finally come for me to bite the bullet and apologise.
(WARNING: FLIMSY EXCUSE APPROACHING)
I hope everyone had a fantastic festive period, I know I certainly did. It was, however, typically hectic. The house was filled with family and friends and there never seemed to be a quiet moment. Coupled with this, working part time in retail over Christmas suddenly becomes anything but ‘part time’. Anyone who has ever worked in a store in the lead up to Christmas and the following chaos of sales will hopefully sympathise with me. As such, The Loddon Eye, my free-time project, has suffered dreadfully.
Once you hit a patch like this it seems to become more and more difficult to get the ball rolling again. However, now we are zipping into late January at a frightful speed it finally feels like things are getting back to normal. So it is time to focus on The Loddon Eye once again. And fear not dear readers, I have made certain changes which will hopefully allow me to put more time into the site and push this humble hyperlocal project onwards and upwards.
There is still a huge amount of potential for The Loddon Eye and hopefully 2011 will be a good year for both Loddon and this site.
I guess I have just learned exactly how hard it is to work and maintain a successful side project simultaneously. It is something I’m just going to have to become accustomed to though… unless anyone is willing to pay me a wage for running The Loddon Eye of course!
Happy (belated) New Year everybody… may 2011 be extraordinarily prosperous.
