Like many of you, I’m off on one of our summer breaks, and because time somehow caught up with me, it was either pack or write. The packing won as you’d expect as somehow I don’t the family wouldn’t have appreciated holidaying in their birthday suits.

CH24 Wishbone Chair by Hans J Wegner 100th Birthday Celebration April has been a month of birthday celebrations for myself and my youngest.
