The Morning Brew

…And in a flash my 2 weeks break is over. The garden office construction has gone well, although not complete, it does now resemble a real building. I lost a few days due to the pretty dreadful weather we have had this August, have had a delay due to the sliding doors not arriving when I hoped, but I never really expected it to be finished at the end of my break.

Anyway, today’s edition is a catch up one covering the most interesting or significant items I found in the feed reader when I set about reviewing them this evening – so if you’ve been under a rock (or have been busy working construction like I have) you will find this useful!
