@MissMeggss Thanks Meg. We’ll have to catch up sometime soon!
Hey guys. Quick update on a sad note. Since starting the magazine in 2016 I haven’t missed a single issue outside of the regular January break. Unfortunately that now changes as there will be no May issue due to a sudden death in my family. Apologies in advance. -Scott
