June Things

Is it time for the second instalment of my monthly things already?  But I’ve barely done anything all month! June has whizzed by, with my downtime spent mostly online researching my next holiday (New York, very imminently).  So what else have I done (*scrolls through Instagram and my bank account…) My Garden At the end … More June Things

Book review 2015

I unashamedly love Christmas.  I love getting gifts, I love giving gifts, I love the food, and I love being around my family.  And I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty great Christmases.  This year was no different. We stayed at my in-laws Christmas Eve and opened our first gifts there when we woke … More It’s just nice to meet another human that shares my affinity for elf culture
