Goodbye, 2022; you have been a good year.
You gave us two more holidays: on 3 June, the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday and on 19 September, the Bank Holiday for the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen indeed passed away, but she had time to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee and to celebrate it without the restrictions of the pandemic.
We managed, after almost three years, to go to Italy.
And we did just a couple of things in the meantime.
