It is safe to say everyone is looking forward to saying goodbye to 2020. It was a year like no other, it tested us all in ways we would never have predicted and it was the year when everything changed.

It is so odd to think back to this time last year and the excitement of welcoming the year 2020. Never could we have imaged this time last year that schools would be shut for months. We wouldn’t be in restaurants or pubs anymore. We wouldn’t be at gigs, at work or gathering in groups with our friends.
