Guardian Q&A Meme

This is an exercise in trying not to be a stuck record! With thanks to SAHMLovingIt for tagging me. Which living person do you most admire, and why? You know, honestly? My husband, Max. For many things, not least his extra-ordinary abilities with Excel, producing beautiful children, leaving work to run the business which was […]

Knitted Hot Water Bottle Love
