-Proverb

I will nev­er for­get 2018. It was a hard year. I grew in so many ways. Not that my dress size increased- but thanks to so many of you it didn’t shrink either. You quite lit­er­al­ly fed me through the year with help, advice, encour­age­ment and busi­ness. I will for­ev­er be grate­ful. Although I can’t pay you back now, or thank each of you indi­vid­u­al­ly, I will nev­er for­get you and will always keep you in my prayers. Thank you and cheers to 2019!
