Another blog
Recently my University set up an official blog for Uni staff. I haven’t quite worked out how to use it yet (as in, what I should be posting), but it makes sense to have something a bit more official for … Continue reading
Quack quack
Recently I became a great aunty (yeah, I know, I’ve always been a great aunty, ask my nephews and nieces, haha). Luke and Sarah love ducks, so I made this wee hat and bootees for Willow. Doesn’t she look sweet?
