In many ways 2016 has been the worst year. There’s been countless headlines filled with news of passing celebs, status updates from friends mourning their loved ones and, of course, I also lost the main man – my wonderful dad.  I’ve genuinely been shocked by the amount of sad news in this year, in particular amongst my friends. I’ve been to more funerals in this year than I have in my whole life.  There are far too many of us who have lost a parent this year.

However, 2016 hasn’t been all bad. This is the first year since 2011 where I’ve been cancer free for the whole year. I’m now 18 months clear and hoping 2017 continues to be the same.

Hope you’ve all enjoyed Christmas and have a wonderful new year.
