As 2016 is, at long last, coming to an end I figured a wee resume of the year would be in place – in true bloggery spirit. Thus I have gone through my stats and gathered the posts that you guys have enjoyed the most throughout year.
Looking through the archive like this is loads of fun, in particular when one can clearly see (or so I imagine lol!) a development in the content. After I dropped out of university (see April’s top post ↓) I dusted off my old DSLR and started using that rather than my iphone for documenting and it has really brought joy back into photographing and I hope that it shows.
Speaking of development, I just wish to take a moment (ok this is starting to sound like I am holding a speech at the Oscars!) and give big thumbs up to Annie for initiating Månadens Gröna – it has truly inspired my throughout the past months to think, and cook, outside of the infamous “box”.
Now, do you have a favourite amongst the top 12?
