Lockdown Blog 25: A year in pictures

Hi everyone,Given that this lockdown is understandably lasting a long while, I thought I'd spend some time thinking back to some lovely times from 2019, in no particular order. Some are trivial, some are serious. But they were all happy moments :-)Much love to you all, and keep safe!Until the next time,EddieInstagram: @edwardbutton1
