That was the year that was-in smiles

There is no need to dwell on what a truly awful year 2016 was for humanity. My year was great but against a background of terrible events. Lies and nastiness or worse seemed to be the new norm in 2016.
However I met some wonderful, friendly people on my travels and somehow I managed to convince most of them to give me a smile so here are some of those smiling faces to usher out 2016 - an antidote to the hate and nastiness of Trump, Farage, Putin, Erdogan, Assad, ISIS and all the other scowlers and mean spirited people who made 2016 a year to forget.
