Crikey, this is my 100th article for Odiferess!
To mark the occasion, here is a round up of my favourite posts over the last 5 years. They are articles that fizzed out of me faster than my typing speed, those which are an utter joy to write. I like to think that they are somewhat 'different' from what visitors expect to read and that they offer an insight into my often bizarre thought process!
I hope you enjoy revisiting them.
On Witches:

Congratulations on your century! Getting Joseph was such a good move, though clearly I am biased.
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa, Thank you.
DeleteI've just re-read the cat article and marvelled at how tiny Truffle looks in that photo. I've got used to seeing her grown-up adventures now where she clearly owns her turf!
I'm so glad you got Truffle, my obsession with your pics and stories were definitely part of the reason that I sought out my Joseph. x
