State of the nation

Almost every other blog post this month has been about the baby, so Naomi and I have endeav­oured to keep abreast (breast­feed­ing pun not intended) of cur­rent news and hap­pen­ings here: 1) It is heart­en­ing to note that home grown brand Cedele is spelling things as they pro­nounce them: 2) Just as heart­en­ing that the “Home
