A stick in the mud
Are you a stick in the mud?
It's a new year - have you made some resolutions to do things differently, to have new experiences and embrace the new?
Or are you a stick in the mud - someone who prefers to remain the same and stick with their old habits and beliefs?
Maybe that's not always such a bad thing.
Here's former politician and famous diarist, Kenneth Clark who explains it rather well.
