Focus on: WeAreWorkingOnIt
‘Tis the season….that many dread. All those family get-togethers and the questions from well-meaning relatives.
“We are working on it” is a stalling response used by one husband. Perhaps you have a good one?
We have also spent the year ‘working on it’ with you, so we are going to do a series of posts about highlights of the year, inspirational stories and coping tips. Illustrated by Christmas decorations at Bourn Hall Cambridge.
