Here is a selection of popular posts from last year, just in case you missed anything.
I’m so happy to see that posts are read long after publication (indeed some of those below were published in previous years) – it’s satisfying to know that the blog forms an archive of information that people find useful to refer to.
By the way, I am reliably informed by my hosting platform that the number of countries in which the blog is read has increased from 168 to 185. Thanks to you all! đ đ đ
