We had the usual winter weather ...
Followed, of course, by a hosepipe ban ...


But the Olympics was the story of the year ...

There was a new addition to the London skyline ...

A government minister prompted a fuel panic ...
There were teething problems with technology ...
A new Archbishop of Canterbury was chosen, via a long and drawn-out process ...

And, as ever, there was some very strange stuff that came out of nowhere ...
Have a happy 2013, everyone!
