My week started in a way I never envisaged...with my letterbox being stolen in the night. Isn't that just the most ridiculous thing? And it wasn't a fancy one, just a regular old white letterbox covered in dried moss. All up the street on the same side as my house, at least half a dozen … Continue reading The Week That Was…
