So here we are, it’s the end of another month and, of course, the end of another year… how time flies! Whilst I’d usually round up my month by writing a list of my ‘top ten’ things from the past thirty days or so, due to personal circumstances I’ve found listing ten things a little tricky at times and thus have simplified things by fettling my monthly lists down to a more manageable and favourable figure of five items. On that note, I would like to announce that from January 2024 onwards #LikedandLoved posts on my blog will come to …

Though I usually list my top ten things that I’ve #LikedandLoved throughout the month, this past month has been difficult thus I’ve had to downsize somewhat and will therefore document my five favourite moments.
