I can’t believe it’s the end of August already. This year seems to have got a shifty on all of a sudden and it’s flying past. I have to admit, as much as I’ve loved the glorious weather we’ve had I’m looking forward to getting some snuggly jumpers and cardis into my wardrobe. Boots and jumpers are my favourites.
July is now a distant memory and I can’t believe how many things I’ve saved to share with you since the end of it. Anyway, enough time-wasting. These are all the links I’ve loved in August.
