Wow, what a crazy year that was. 2016 you were a challenge for many people. I mean I'm speaking to it as if it can answer back because I think a few of us want some answers! It was a year where beloved idols fell (has anyone checked on Duran Duran?) and politics and wars dominated. Hearts broke, anger swelled and tears flowed. I am curious to see how 2017 unfolds.

Food wise and travel wise it was a good year here in my little world. We travelled, we ate and we travelled some more. And not only that but our dearest wish to have a little dog came true this year with little Mochi who is settling in beautifully. Her arrival so late this year was nothing but the sweetest candy. And at the end of the year I love the surprise of seeing the most popular posts because while I feel like I know you, you always give me a little surprise!

As always I have you to thank for reading Dear Reader. I write each and every post as if I were speaking to you and every word is genuine. I was so touched by your lovely reaction to our new travel business Experiential Traveller and I am excited to be travelling to Peru with some of you next year! I hope that your 2017 is a wonderful year and that it treats you and your loved ones kindly. And if this blog provides a nice little diversion, a shelter from the storm then I am happy and grateful to be part of your lives.

Lots of love,

Lorraine

Restaurants

We do restaurant reviews a little differently here at NQN. We book anonymously, pay for ourselves and cause as little fuss as possible. Food challenges, new restaurants and going south seem to be the theme this year. You guys like eating out as much as I do! Let's do it again in 2017 :) And if there are any places you think are worth reviewing do let me know!
