Slightly belated, but I do love a list ( from meal plans, to jobs I need to do in varying order of urgency, my house is covered in them!), and I have finally gotten around to committing this one to “virtual” paper thanks to being tagged in a “plans for 2019” post by the lovely […]

Sunday Photo – 365 Miles
Not completely picture perfect thanks to the blue van, but a gorgeous spot nonetheless, and a picture I posted on my IG feed and wanted to include here as well… Taken on Friday in my Grandparent’s beautiful village.
