NOV 2013: MATERNITY LEAVE

My baby boy Alfred was born to the sound of fireworks on 5th November 2013!

This means I will take a break from both teaching and freelance work for a while to focus on the new love in my life! However, a little bit of writing and tour planning will keep me busy inbetween breast feeding and nappy changes.
