Thoughts of spring

Over the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about adding a little more personality to my blog – there’s been lots of discussion on Twitter and on the blogs about ‘voice’; this post at Unfinished Person caught my eye.  Anyone who knows me IRL knows that I have a voice (and I’m not afraid to [...]
