We were leaving to go on holiday the following day.

It's been a wonderful journey of discovery which I have thoroughly enjoyed doing.

There was a period of time in the middle where I nearly stopped the project.
My father had died and I lost interest in shooting for a while.

In the end, I added the time onto the end of the project so that I had taken a picture on 365 days.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me through the project with encouragement.
