Difficult question to answer, there have been so few negatives in my life after I left school. It's hard to pick out one year that was better than the others. Maybe that is because I start with such low expectations life always turns out better than I think it will. As one of my mother's friends said "You can't complain having spent your life swanning around the world and getting very well paid for it"

Just look for the positives I say, i don't have a fav year, would say the early 90s were great, raves, summer of love mk2, no mobile phones, internet or social media just happy sweaty people dancing in a warehouse/field/club with the aid of illegal substances.
2015 was a good year also, purchased my boat and split from the boring wife.

1994 for me. After a long spell out of work I landed a really good, well paying job doing ultra-long haul Euro work.

I think it'd be easier picking the awful years... lots of years good but a few so bad that the memories need consigning to a shredder.

Since our first day afloat, I've kept a fairly lengthy log book (well books as there are about 120 of them) with each book covering three to four weeks.
As I'm at home, I've started to read them ... currently upto October 2006 our second year of ownership.
Amazing how one's memory conflates incidents into a single event ... also how we look back on long hot summers (our first afloat full time in 2005) only to discover we were still occasionally lighting a fire in May and June, and that we had some rain showers on most days.
That's the problem with looking back ... one seems to enhance the good and the bad just pales into insignificance.
I'm enjoying the read ... it's making me want to get back on board and start new adventures.
I guess I'm a glass half full chap, but looking forward is what makes me smile ... I find 'the blue remembered hills' very melancholic.

I think my favorite year was the year I passed my Driving test 1989... living up in the sticks of North Yorkshire, life didn't begin until you could drive - I wasn't allowed a motorbike (under my roof you'll live by my rules kind of thing) .
My 2nd favourite year was 2005 - I got out of a crappy relationship, sorted my finances out, got my body in peak condition and was suddenly very attractive to a much bigger audience. Alas, that crowd has now diminsiehd (as has the peak condition) but what's been left in it's place are relationships with decent, fun to be with, reliable folks with integrity and kind hearts... what more could you want out of life eh?

Year wise it was 74, I realised how much fun sex was and how available it was, as long as you had condoms! The joys of being 16 and joining the Army 75 was a strange finished in the Juniors and went for trade training posted to 264 Signal Sqn SAS and then the broken leg whilst on continuation driving on a BSA B40 shit happens!
