Himself is only just coming back round to considering courgettes acceptable on his plate after 3 months of me sneaking them into almost every meal. Since … Continue reading Veggies progress report 2021 – part 2
Some time ago I wrote a post about beautiful imperfections. Recently, my thoughts are travelling along a similar path.

Saw this from Laura's Lovely Blog (https://www.laurasummers.co.uk/2019/08/26/what-summer-means-to-me-summer-tag/) and Bubba Blue and Me (https://bubbablueandme.com/2019/07/what-summer-means-to-me-summer-tag/) who I follow on Twitter.
