Hello!  Happy Sunday! (or Friday, if you’re one of the 7 Reasons team editing this post before scheduling it for Sunday) Images are very important to us here at 7 Reasons and we always try to put them together in-house because, though what we post usually...

It’s almost Christmas and one of the aspects of the festival that I hate the most is writing Christmas cards.   But I’ve come up with a cunning plan for dealing with them.  This year, I won’t be sending any Christmas cards out until Christmas Eve.  Here are...

It’s Saturday, and the 7 Reasons team have abandoned the sofa in order to rush, blinking out into the sunlight like pit-ponies escaping from their daily labour.  But, fear not, for the  sofa is in safe hands.  Guest hosting this week is the lovely Liz Gregory...
