With our imminent move to Australia, I thought it was the perfect time to overhaul my blog design and think about where I’m going to take the content over the coming months and years. There's still plenty of work to be done on the site, so please bear with me as I get it all finished off with my designer as not all of the links and boxes work just yet and many of the images need realigning.
