2016 started off in one way, turned left, got flipped upside down, then messed up in the blender. Here’s how it all came out in the end:
Great Britain
England. Scotland. Northern Ireland. Even Gibraltar. I prefer to categorize these countries separately, and have had many adventures in each of them. Check out the posts from these adventures, below!
