I hope all of you had a fantastic new year celebration! It may have been very different to the one I had. Curled up in front of the television whilst waiting for the famous countdown. And once it began, standing by the window waiting for the beautiful firework display set upon the Thames river. To say the least, it was mesmerising and proved as unforgettable as ever.

This year has been a whirlwind of excitement and prosperity. Mostly to do with the amazing progress the Steemit platform has made. There are so many changes in my life that sometimes I have to pinch myself to tell myself it is real. But seeing as my blog is based on travelling to some of the best eateries and venues this great city has to offer, I have put together this montage of my most memorable images together to celebrate what is, in essence, one of the best year's of my life.

These are but a few of my favourite recollections from my blog on Steemit. You are all such awesome people on this platform and without your enduring support and encouragement, I could never have imagined myself getting as far as I have. I have had a great 2017 and I can only hope 2018 is even half as good.

A happy new year to all of you. To the future of Steemit and beyond!!!

我希望大家都度过了一个愉快的元旦！在英国，元旦虽然没有圣诞节那么隆重，但还是有各种庆祝活动，以示辞旧迎新！我呢，今年没有出去，和先生蜷缩在电视机前一起倒数计时，呵呵。由于家里离伦敦中心不远， 在我们家阁楼能看到大部分泰晤士河上精彩的烟花汇演！可以不用出家门就欣赏到短暂却极其美丽的烟花，共同迎接新年的到来，真是非常美妙并令人难忘的时刻！

今年Steemit平台取得了惊人的进展，对于许多Steemian朋友也包括我来说，是收获丰硕的一年。 有时候，我都会怀疑这到底是真的，还是自己在做梦，呵呵。回顾这美好的一年，我选取了一些旅游和美食帖子的照片，来与大家重温一下这些难忘的回忆！

在Steemit平台上，大家都是如此出色，我真心感激你们的长久以来的支持与鼓励。2017年对于我来说充满了激励与惊喜，但我相信2018年将会更具挑战性也更加美好，我热切地期待着！

祝大家元旦快乐！
