31 May
After a very long winter I finally managed to get away on holiday to somewhere hot and sunny – which means that you are in for a photo post. You can revel vicariously in my photos of sun, sea and quirky ceramics, or you can just skip this one if it would make you too envious.

31 DecObjectively, this has been a bit of a bad year for me healthwise, relationshipwise and careerwise.
