A simple life

{CC & Me. NYC. My 39th birthday} Since he went into the jungle, in 2016, I have thought about Joel Dommett probably once every couple of months. There’s the obvious reasons ~ He’s easy on the eye. He owns an extremely enviable set of […]

Isolation Creations

There is a Christmas wreath making workshop I went to, some years ago now, that I think about probably once a month. Run by a friend and along with three other friends we went in the hope of catching up with each other. We also thought we’d be […]
