For the past week and a bit my Instagram and Facebook feed has been filled with everyone’s highlights of 2020, and this was the first year when I simply wasn’t ready to look back on 2020. Until now. It’s been a very different year. Most unusual. Most unexpected. It was a difficult year in soooo... Continue Reading →

Piazza Navona, Pantheon & Spanish steps
