A day of memories as we said goodbye to Aunt Rose, the last of her generation. That makes us cousins the old ones now.

She's beautiful, she's got gorgeous reviews and she fits just lovely in a stocking...

Can I tell you a secret? My least favourite part of NFNF is the publicity. I’ve told everyone how great it is, so it feels like nagging to tell you again. If you all just subscribed we could stop this right now. It is PROPERLY amazing, mind you 😉 www.neitherfishnorfoul.com

Free, high quality online courses, open to everyone - computing, languages, literature, music, politics, design Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a great intro into a new subject area without the cost. Check them out, link below. Please share
