Dogs & Minimalism

Okay so I’ve wanted a dog… forever!!! When I was a child I used to pretend I had a dog (convinced that if I looked after it well enough & was sure it was real, then it might appear). Now I’m an adult I could choose to have a dog. I know the exact type … Continue reading »

I know there … Continue reading »

What do you really need?

I noticed that I hadn’t written in a while and it wasn’t for lack of inspiration. It was because I didn’t have my laptop with me.
