    Today I sat and wrote a card to a friend – there was no occasion. The card seemed to speak to me and I know how much she’ll love receiving it. How often do you do that these days? How much do you love receiving handwritten notes? I remember some years ago (early days of…

    I set myself a challenge with this weeks palette, and that was to create a palette of colours I would not usually choose.
