So after a tedious day at the office, grinding away at proposals, write-ups and other such delights, it was so nice to come home and switch off.

It’s no masterpiece, but I really like the effect. Sam showed me. It’s really effective and easy….
Hi there! Sorry I am so late, but we just had THE FUNNIEST TIME! We did a Murder Mystery in the garden, all had to dress the part. Oh how we laughed!!!
