It's been quite some time since my last post, June of 2019 to be exact. And while I trust I don't need to fill you in on the events of 2020, I've compiled a chronological journal of my own to share some personal highlights of the past 18 months.

A Podcast I’m Savouring.
While I'm pretty sure I have less than ten followers on my blog, I still feel compelled to scream out into the interverse (I just made that word up) my newfound-love for the Wine Face podcast.
