Once you’ve got to seven of a thing, then I suspect introducing it is probably unnecessary. In fact, I’m not quite sure what I’m going to write in this part of the post any more. The deal, in case the last six of these have passed you by (and good news if that is the […]

Hammocks! And some thoughts on Novica
When Novica contacted me recently asking if I was interested in reviewing their online shop for artisan products from around the world, they could have made their lives easier by pointing out that they have hammocks for sale and I was welcome to test out the service by ordering those. Instead, we went back and […]

I’ve already waxed lyrical about the gorgeous interior region, stuffed full of waterfalls, cultural attractions, dragon caves and endlessly tasty […]
