Dear reader, this is a quick note to reflect on what happened for me in 2025. It truly was a year of many firsts.

The firsts:

  • Sold my house in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire in March.
  • Got engaged.
  • Became a father for the first time in April to a beautiful boy.
  • Celebrated my first Father’s Day as an actual dad.
  • Moved to Brentwood, Essex with my partner in August.
  • Walked the entire length of an Elizabeth line train from front to back while it was moving.
  • Had my first family Christmas as a dad.

So, what will 2026 bring me? Hmm, perhaps more than 778 contributions, as measured by GitHub.

👋 Until then.
