Lists:
A few months ago I went on a work training day with my colleagues, and as a warm up activity the speaker asked us to evaluate ourselves against a set of charcteristics that you might see in the workplace. This then led to the inevitable ‘you are this kind of a person’ conclusion. Now,…

Chelsea flower show
It’s Chelsea flower show time again so here’s a few items from Etsy to celebrate the occasion. Have a read of my friend Rona’s blog Flowerona to find out more about Chelsea. She’s a talented photographer and writer, plus she knows LOTS about flowers! Images: From Etsy – 1 2 3 4

Sunday night feeling…
