WITH the end of 2021 now just hours away, it’s time to look back and reflect on just how weird the past 12 months have been.
We entered 2021 with a spirit of optimism and the sense of a brand new start after the global misery covid piled upon us in 2020.
But for so many 2021 wasn’t actually all that different to 2020, with lockdown restrictions, time spent away from friends and family, and constant covid cautiousness continuing to dominate the way we live our lives.
This time, however, it genuinely feels different thanks to the vaccines keeping covid deaths low and 2022 really does feel like it could be the year we finally crawl out from under the shadow of coronavirus.
So to celebrate we’ll be bringing you live updates from celebrations around the world, from fireworks in Sydney and Beijing, to parties in London, New York, Rio de Janeiro and everyone in between.
And we’ll also be bringing you news you can use too; including the very latest opening times at all your favourite shops and supermarkets and the best things to watch on TV on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
