Hello!
Just a heads up that I’m in travel mode again so may be delayed in my responses etc.
Still working away (remotely) for the rest of Dec so it’s not holiday mode just yet for me!
Will be contactable over email as usual but just giving everyone a heads up that there may be a slightly delayed response to queries (max a few days!)
Thank you all for your patience and wishing everyone a hopefully non hectic prep for Xmas coming up!
Have a wonderful weekend! 💚
