I’ve finally been unfurloughed, god help us all. It’s all been a bit of a shock. After almost a year of chewing the cud in a field, AKA, baking, cleaning, walking and mainly drinking, I’m now up and dressed and […]
Kung Hei Fat Choy for this Friday everybody and congratulations to all you Ox’s out there! I’m certainly going to miss our annual visit into Soho to join the celebrations. My kids and I managed to get there last year, just […]
