2022! Phew! It does seem like it\u2019s been a busy year, not least of all because we spent the previous two largely indoors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s been ups, downs, comebacks and victories \u2013 starting the year with another new COVID variant, and ending with another new Prime Minister.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We thought we\u2019d take the time to reflect and look back at the year. But we\u2019re going to do it with cards, because\u2026 we\u2019re a card company.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

January<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Have<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

February<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"World<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

March<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Will<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

March was a real slap in the face\u2026 at least it was for Chris Rock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

April<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Have<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

May<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Stranger<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Things got strange in May with the release of Stranger Things season four. We still can\u2019t believe the final episode when\u2026 Ok, no spoilers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

June<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Lurpak<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

July<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Davide<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

August<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Rude<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

September<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Phil<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

October<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Lettuce<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

October was the month that Liz Truss\u2019s premiership was outlasted by a lettuce. But where is the lettuce now? We can only assume it\u2019s working on a memoir.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

November<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Air<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
