Very sorry I got you confused with Mick. I was hurrying - the old brain is unreliable these days I'm afraid. I think it just goes 'short name, starts with M, second name has o sound'. Hopeless.
I stole your magnificent rapunzely greens photo for the banner - I hope that's OK. I managed to lose the old photos.
cheers Scarlett
If you want to put an ad up for your business like Linda's on BLF I'm happy to do so. No charge. Just make an image file and I'll upload it. Needs to be the right sort of size.
Let me know if you do it and I'll msg you my email address you can send it to
Loved the wicking bed post with the photos - wicked :)
cheers SJP
When it gets closer (or when you get a chance), please create an Event with the date that suits you best so people can keep it free. Personally I don't like to add my address, so I message those that RSVP with it a few days before.
