A Quick Word...

Hi internet! We've been rather slack with updating the blog but we'll do better in 2023, promise. Real life obligations overtook us and the pandemic was no help either. 

We have so many backlogged posts accumulated over these few years so don't be surprised to suddenly see new but backdated "updates" as we will continue to gradually upload them onto the blog for posterity.

Meanwhile, feel free to pop by our Facebook and personal Instagram pages for up to date happenings and shenanigans. 

See you around! <3
