Next week
As we head into the festive period at full speed, you can bet I’m taking a little break from daily writing too – mainly because I want a bit of a holiday too.
I’ll also be kicking off a seasonal trip Train vs Plane trip report providing I get time to finish writing the first few chapters over the next few day.
As usual – thank you for reading this week. See you soon!
