Lost magic and bolshie traits
Thanks very much to the lovely Kate Bentham for her great summary of the week 7 posts – I always enjoy reading her summaries (and think they’re better than mine). Amongst the excellent posts for week 8, two caught my eye immediately.…
Blue stars, seagull-proofing, waste and change
