It’s the little things that matter

Now’s about the time in the blog where we struggle to keep up with what’s going on and start the posts made primarily of photos (a mix from us both) and hybrids of a number of tours. Here’s some marvellous tiny little things we’ve seen, many of which want to kill you.
