I'm first - are the rest of you still in bed!

If you enjoy reading or writing short historical version I've got an interview with Sally Bland, editor of Snapshots of History, on my blog

A rather hurried blog post today, as was promoting 'Meat-free Monday' and we are almost in Wednesday already. Also, my pics published backwards.
am going to leave it for now and will tweak tomorrow. [Husband-Gusto and I have had some wine and are about to settle into Great British Bakeoff].

Good night everyone

Heh heh, thank you Outrageous.

No scary (or scar-y) photos today. It's Way of The Dress Wednesday...in which I continue my war against denim...

A post about making children more aware of danger and how to respond. That teaching our children about predatory individuals, should be no different from teaching them about road safety.

Stranger danger

And how its not always a stranger who wishes your child harm.
