Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
I have been on the most epic adventure over the last few weeks. Well I say few weeks, in truth this adventure started last year but it didn’t pan out, so I’ve chosen to completely gloss over it and pretend it didn’t happen. So last few weeks it is, and […]
Tablet is a very, very, very, very, very sugary traditional Scottish sweet. Or as we say in Scotland, a sweetie. Every kid in Scotland grew up eating this stuff and it’s probably responsible for the appalling dental health of my generation and before. Before I go any further I want […]
