Yes, yes… I realise this is a day late, but for the first time in 3 years I forgot to write the blog! 

That’s right. I’ve delivered a blog every week for 253 weeks and this week… I forgot!

In my defense, does anyone know what day it is today (or any day this week)??! I hope you’re all just blissfully sipping wine, eating good food and enjoying some time off to care.

 

If you missed it, last week I introduced Part 1 of our annual Festive Season Quiz.

There’s still time to send your answers through for Part 1 along with this week’s Part 2.

And if you do, you could win yourself a Sparkling and Shiraz twin pack… delivered to your door!
