Apologies for the lack of contact!

Hello all!

I keep feeling very guilty on one hand about not updating, but on the hand as I have said before I feel that there is so much news on Martha's website as well as her Facebook page that there is not so much a demand for me. I have been very busy with various work projects and studying, which has involved other online blogging and tweeting!!! I am now onto my final coursework project and so am hoping to review it all again in September! If there is a need and a desire I am more than happy to continue and if not then I am more than happy to let Martha's official pages do the job!

Best Wishes,

Sarah
