Another year over, taking stock

I have spent some of the last few weeks reflecting on 2022 and thinking about what 2023 may bring. Will it be different? Will anything really change for our clients, our profession or the animals we care for? We can hope for a more stable UK government, peace in Ukraine and a way out of the cost-of-living crisis, but these are largely outside our control. So, the custom is to make new year's resolutions to try to change some of what can be controlled, which often focus on health and fitness. I for example, having not run a marathon since 2018 and having hardly run at all for the last 2 years, have decided to try to get fit enough to run the Edinburgh marathon in May, with my son; 37 years my junior! Foolhardy perhaps, but not as much as some of the fads that are seen at this time of year.
