I've been having a think about what to do with discoveredinalj this year, and suddenly remembered years ago when we had some guest challengers through the year. I thought it might be fun to do this again now, if anyone's up for it. *g ( Read more... )

This will apparently be a year of adventure, a year of risks - incident, opportunities, change! I ( Read more... )

So... it's Saturday, the UK is still under a blanket of snow, and I feel like being a wee bit topical... also, I may be trying to hang on to the December magic just a little bit... *g*

I thought maybe a new challenge? Inspired by the lads' world around us right now, and because a couple of people have suggested it...
