What a strange year! It so so true what your parents say, each year goes by quicker and quicker than the last. 2017 has certainly flown by, so much so I didn't even see where December went.

I posted a link to my website on a Vegan FB group a little while back and this is what happened. Vegan wedding catering all round! (Yes, the cake was to die for).
