OK, so maybe you were all busier last week than I gave you credit for. 

Here I was thinking you’d had enough of spending time with your families and needed some time out.

Clearly I was wrong, because I didn’t get one entry for…

The Somerled Blog Annual Christmas Quiz!

I’m not offended.

I’m grateful.
