Yoyo you wonderful bear followers, I hope today finds you well and for those of you in the UK I hope your snow-related torment hasn’t been too painful to endure and you’ve all stayed safe 🙂 In the shower today (apologies for the mental imagery!) I started to mull over what I would tell someone, […]
