The observant among you may have noticed I quite like grey and white. Okay, okay, even the less observant among you may have sussed that out. It’s not because I’m excessively dull or adverse to colour; I just find it to be a nice chilled…
Project New House has been somewhat derailed by my irresponsible attitude towards money and my urge to travel to places far, far away. No sooner have I returned from Singapore and I’m booking last minute flights to disappear off to Boa Vista with the girls in…
