Dear Lucy, I had a most terrible and thrilling thought this week. What if there were no more lists? What if I stopped making lists?

Mrs Bennett
Dear Lucy, I wanted to tell you about my recent visit from Mrs Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. I saw she’d become a Dating Coach and my interest was piqued.

I soon regretted choosing his shoes as it meant I would have to break my stare to check if heContinue reading “Scarf vs Shoes”
