Some of you may get the slightly altered version of this reference from Friday Night Lights (you know who you are!) My personal take on it involves a (mostly) clear dining room table that is honestly bringing me SO much joy, after weeks of it being overrun. As per usual, I forgot to take a…
Continue reading →February 29 has rolled around once more. The last leap year bonus day in 2020 was when I hit publish on my final blog post on my old blog, My Brilliant Foot. My goodness how much has changed since that weekend away! The bonus day before that in 2016 was the final day of my…
Continue reading →I have honestly been meaning to blog about this for months and months. In fact, I started this blog post back in May this year, but for many reasons, just haven’t come back to it. At the start of this year, as had been for many years, dinner times were more often than not, a…
