It is quite weird to think that this will be the final Cult Challenge as both dreaming them up, and then reading the responses has become a major part of my life over the last few years. It will truly be sorely missed :)
But there we are. Life, eh?
But getting on with it – in this, the final Challenge, I wanted to have us all look back over the ups and downs of the year, and whether there have been more grey days than not, look forward to a brighter year ahead. So we’re looking for some sunshine to see us through the long wintery nights.
