honestly lovely…
Boy oh boy, am I struggling to write my latest post. My laptop is overheating, the internet keeps crashing and if I could, I’d probably drink my weight in coffee to avoid sitting down to type a long overdue review … Continue reading

the deepest secret…
Forgive me for yet another lengthy silence: Tipareth was put to sleep in my arms on Friday. Which might explain the groaning empty sadness I felt permeate most of last week. Losing Morpheus was devastating but with both now gone, … Continue reading
