January has flown past and what a month for weather, for work, for life and for love. No category proved to offer what was at first promised and overall the one word I can use to sum up the month’s events is nothing less than ‘astonishing’ – and one little word it may be – but I had many a reason to experience its infinite nuances. Guided by this verb I began thinking about words and the power they contain, yet even so, how they fail to entirely paint a clear picture of an event.
