Before we get too much further into December, I ju Before we get too much further into December, I just want to say a huge thank you for being with me this year. All the likes, shares, and loves. All the comments, replies, and messages. They all mean so, so much, and on those days when I doubt myself, it is you who keep me going.

My regular Christmas wish will be out closer to the big day itself, but before the month becomes too crazy, I just wanted to take this moment to acknowledge the brilliant you. Thank you.

Big love, Samantha xxx
