I don't know whether it's the seemly long summer we've had since the start of lockdown {at the end of March}, that I've been really enjoying getting bits done around the house or that September feels like somewhat of a fresh start but I have been so excited to decorate the house this autumn - [...]
Hi! And welcome to a new feature I'm introducing as part of alifetwintastic.blog - a monthly newsletter!
