Housekeeping –

 

I’ve changed the blog subscription platform from WordPress to MailChip, so that’s why this email looks a bit different (for people who receive this blog via email). This change means people won’t need to sign up to WordPress to be able to follow this blog via email.

 

I hope you don’t mind, but I have transferred my email subscriber list into the new platform, It’s still super easy to unsubscribe if you like!
