Looking back year 2025

This is the tenth year that I have been writing this blog, which summarises the past year by presenting my work. 2025 began with a trip to Vietnam and ended with a trip to Nosy Be.

We’d talked about the idea of writing again, not really four hands, but each working on a common subject.
