We've come to the point in the wedding planning stages where we are now counting down the DAYS!

This week has been a practice in listening and keeping mum; our 13th General Election took place on Sunday, and as with every election that happens in every country, there are people who are happy and there are those who aren't. My close friends and relatives all know that my personal political views have always … Continue reading Coconut Lemon Bars
