On New Year’s resolutions

Rev Katherine Chow encourages us that it’s time ‘to tend to what is beneath the surface’ 

I am a self-confessed foodie. I spend disproportionate amounts of time each day thinking about what I’m going to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And that doesn’t even include the time I spend thinking about snacks! Sometimes I wish eating crisps was an acceptable hobby to add under the ‘other interests’ section on my CV. In 2026, I definitely want to cook more homemade meals from scratch in an effort to be healthier, but realistically, I know I’m probably not going to be organised enough to get to weekly meal-planning levels of cookery this year. It’s good to have resolutions – but to also be realistic.
