I have been extremely quiet on this blogging thing, for quite some time. The reasons are numerous and many inconsequential to the wider fact that I have not done any – for far too long.

A quick re-blog on inspiration and representation
I am re-blogging this from my husbands’ site, as it is phrased so eloquently, I thought it worth a re-share. If nothing else, it proves how important it is to bring everyone along on the journey, not just those having to travel it. Things Lady M Says: Now You Know
