Happy New Year! For the first time in years none of us were ill over the Christmas break so I’m taking that as a serious win.

Being January it’s now time for me to look back at the previous year in my various round ups. There’ll be one for December, one what I read in 2025, and a look at what I got for my birthday and Christmas.

A close look at the Magic Faraway Tree Trailer

“I want to go and see that!” – Brodie

And what was he talking about? The upcoming Magic Faraway Tree film, of course. (Let’s ignore the fact he said the same about almost every trailer we saw that day…) We were at the cinema on Christmas Eve to see Zootopia 2 and the Magic Faraway Tree Trailer was shown before it. My niece (11) also expressed an interest in seeing it, and she has read the books. The rest of the audience seemed to like it as well – there was much laughter at the wife/wifi joke.
