Hey blogland! I’ve been reading about your wonderful holiday experiences and have been playing catch up at work/home. Things are a bit hectic at the moment (Read: house is going back up for sale on Monday). However, I do have lots of photos from the holiday and will be making two posts about my own personal experiences so stay tuned! In the meantime, I have a tradition that I look back at the year in music and compile my top 10 of the best album releases. Music is one of my greatest passions! Hope you enjoy or this gets you excited to try some music you may not have heard! x
