March 24, 2020 By Ellen

Yesterday, as soon as we got wind of the new measures (or lockdown as they call it in Scotland) Boy Two came to the rescue and fetched his big brother (and all his stuff) back from uni. So now the Palace of Bundance is full to bursting. Here’s what I learned: If you’re going to […]
