Hopetoun
The week before Wednesday night we had a lesson, it had certainly been a while since we had one, and Eva and I did need a bit of a nudge - read "kick up the ass" - in the right direction as I was descending back in to the habit of doing everything. And Eva [...]
5 years

Why I’ve been a little quiet
In short I was devoting a lot of my free time to studying. I had one final exam to do in order to gain a professional certificate so I decided to book my exam and push myself to get to out the way as soon as possible. The result? I passed 🎉🎉 I'm so relieved [...]
