Honeymoon Period in a City of Culture
Honeymoon Period? So before I know it, week 3 is over in approximately 0.5 hours (just finished some work for the week, I'm not slacking I promise!). And the so-called 'honeymoon' period that I'm sure many Scholars have experienced by...

Seeing things from the other side

Dinner in the Desert lit by Giraffes on Fire.
