But first, I’m going to break with protocol and talk a bit more about numbers. This year, we’ve seen numbers on the blog grow to amounts we couldn’t even imagine was possible at the start of the year, let alone 2 and a half year ago (thereabouts) when we first started Hand Luggage Only.<\/p>\n

On the blog, we’ve had over 500,000 readers each month, 22 million viewers per month on Pinterest (yes, you read that right – I was as shocked as you probably are) and the Hand Luggage Only family has grown to over 628,000 of us across the globe! This is a HUGE deal and not one I take lightly at all. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF HAND LUGGAGE ONLY!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Hand<\/a><\/p>\n

We are so grateful because every experience we’ve had and everything we’ve done on here has been down to you! You’ve inspired, educated, supported and helped us along our way (quite literally too) and I just want to say a HUGE thank you! (I promise this isn’t a ‘drunk New Year’s eve soppy babble<\/em>‘ I’m totally sober… for now \ud83d\ude09 ). Your support and your kind words mean so much more than I can explain and I am (we both are) truly grateful!<\/p>\n

\"Hand<\/a><\/p>\n

I promised myself I’d keep this short and sweet so I’ll stop by saying thank you once again and raising a huge glass of bubbly to you (*now the drinking begins<\/em>) – THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!!<\/p>\n
