Posted on February 29, 2024 by Fiona

The Famous Five 2020s Style: The Curse of Kirrin Island

Posted on February 25, 2024 by Fiona

Stef was up visiting me so we thought we’d subject ourselves to the new Famous Five adaptation. Neither of us had seen it before. This would probably have made an interesting livestream but as neither of us have had any … Continue reading →

2023 birthday and Christmas present round up

Posted on February 15, 2024 by Fiona

January 2024 round up

Posted on February 2, 2024 by Fiona
