Week 17 I knew this had been a long week, but I didn't quite realise how long it had felt until I turned to Adam and mentioned his birthday, two weeks ago? No, reader, it was only last Sunday. Weekly roundup incoming! * Remember how I said my donked ankle was
Featured Week 16 I know what you're thinking - starting a blog a third of the way through 2021 is not how New Year's Resolutions are meant to go. And yet, here we are! My plan is to do a weekly roundup on Monday every week, and then some
