R.I.P.ples

The trouble with words is that you never know where and how they’ll land. A few weeks or so I recieved a text. It was out of the blue… Hmm… No, that’s not quite exact, it was unexpected… Not at all out of the blue once I thought it through … It had just taken […]

No More Silence

I was holding off announcing this until I’d at least finished Waxtober but today through my letterbox dropped something that felt to be a sign… Today is my Wedding Anniversary and so I guess a good day to announce a birth… Finally… After many many twists and turns and changes of name… My deck is […]
