Blogging | Where Are We Heading?

 Wearing - Jack Spade Chinos | Converse 1970s | Socks c/o Pennine Outdoorswear

I've got a full week of working from home coming up - with a few posts to write up and tons of photos to edit, while I also start to make plans for the next two months. One priority is to put the wheels in motion for our Euro road trip...too much talking and not enough doing on my part.

With a bit more time to organise myself this week it's got me thinking about what's next for me, and what the future holds for this blog. I've been working on the blog pretty much full time for about a year and a half now, and along with help from Hollie, Nik + Yasumi, we seem to have got a good thing going. A really good thing in fact, and your feedback has been amazing. It's hard work, but I'm having a blast meeting new people and opening up exciting opportunities.

Like with any project or job, I just need to check-in and make sure I'm on the right track and achieving my goals - I know a fresh new layout has been needed for some time. So this week you'll find me sitting at my desk, in comfy socks, ready to get stuff done!

What is next for Buckets? Only time will tell, but I know it's heading in a positive direction.
