2020 was a difficult year for many of us. The coronavirus and Covid-19 pandemic was something that very few people saw coming and it has changed the majority of lives, often for the worse, as it has spread around the world. Adapting to life around the virus has meant many day to day changes in a bid to slow its spread. Right now, many of us are working from home on a remote basis, as opposed to working in an office space. Many companies are unable to work this way and are collapsing. This means that many people are being made redundant, losing their jobs, having to work the same hours for lower salaries or having to work fewer hours for lower salaries. This means a huge impact on the economy and further struggle and financial impact. On top of this, many of us are unable to spend time with the ones we love, as we adhere to social isolation and social distancing measures. It’s all been pretty tough and we haven’t overcome the virus yet, so it seems that things will continue this way for a little while longer. But it is important to be positive. Here are a few things that you can look forward to in the upcoming year!

Everyone loves having one or two hobbies they can turn to and use to fill up their spare time.
