I was sent this image from the amazing How I met your mother tv show recently in response to the number of books I am buying, I don’t blame anyone for thinking that I needed an intervention, even if it is a joke. I have loved reading most of my life and it is extremely…
I decided that this year we will be doing some set days out each month to work my way through a list of places Trace would like to go. It starts with Preston Park which is near Yarm. This is a place we like to go to as once you pay the ticket covers the…
