52 Weeks – Week 52 Got The T-Shirt
It’s been a tough year and, although there are still a few days left, this is the final Sunday of the year, so it seemed like an appropriate time to use this image.
Just making it this far is an achievement in itself, and for some it will have been the greatest achievement of all. Sadly, we must also remember those who didn’t make it this far, for whatever reason.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my photos and that they’ve helped, in some small way, to lighten the load of this year.
I wish you all a healthy and prosperous 2021.
