Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Romania. There’s just something wonderful about just about everything that country has to offer.

Gert lush means something is really good in Bristolian – and now on to your second question… We had an amazing week away thank you 🙂 Lockdown restrictions have been all over the place here in the UK so it’s hard to know what you can/can’t do, who you can/can’t see etc. and we were getting a little nervous because … Continue reading “What a gert lush trip!” – a fabulous, snug week in Thornbury and Bristol, UK
Do you ever get that afternoon slump, when you’re really struggling to focus and you feel like you are ready for bed, even though it is only 2-3pm?
