As last! It’s finally 1st December so there’s no excuse not to play Mariah Carey on a loop until Christmas Day while eating your weight in selection boxes and satsumas – hurrah!
In celebration of the festive season I’ve decided to take on a little Christmas challenge and do Blogmas or rather ‘Blog-más’ as I’m calling my attempt. Blogmas usually sees bloggers upload new content once a day until Christmas Day but I’m aiming to blog beyond this and last right up until the end of the year, hence the addition of the accent in más – Spanish for ‘more’.
Last weekend I had the good fortune to visit some old friends up in Edinburgh and in the spirit of silliness we decided to spend the dwindling daylight hours robbing children of their happiness and winning big at Portobello’s amusement arcade.
You may have noticed it’s been eerily quiet around these parts for the past month. I decided to give September Favourites a bit of a bye ball on account of it being an altogether wick month. October was a different kettle of fish entirely. While it has been quiet here on the site I’ve been working on a lot of content behind the scenes and I’m really looking forward to being able to share it with you soon. Please be patient a little while longer. (I realise it’s a bit of an ask and I assure you, I am thankful for you allowing me time to get back into the swing of things.)
