Yeah, that went well…

October 26, 2020 By Ellen

All puffed-up with myself, I posted a couple of weeks ago about all the things I was going to do and how I’d blog about it all. Yeah. Well, I didn’t do any of it. What are you gonna do? If 2020 has been a bit of a wobbly ride for most people, I’ve added […]

Things I learned today – crispy veg and feminist icons

October 1, 2020 By Ellen

Do I need to open this post with a statement about black lives mattering? Surely not… Some things are blindingly obvious, […]
