Back in the olden days when budget was less of a problem and my house hadn’t actually exploded with stuff, we would often occupy ourselves with a trip into town, which was within walking distance back then and peruse the lovely retail opportunities it offered. We normally had a reason to go to town in […]
Most random ever blog freebie that made us do stuff!
Ages ago I got sent a rather fab T-shirt that had been made using stains for me by Dermot Flynn by Persil who are launching their new Small & Mighty detergent. Since it was a size ten, Maddy got to wear it. I might be dieting, but I’m not sure me and a size 10 […]
Not art or latin but something between
Our ArtEtc and LatinEtc days have been suffering a temporary hiatus from lack of people and other commitments recently, so yesterday Zoe and I decided we’d carry on regardless and hope other people rejoin as and when they are able to.
