Officially needing more Spain

Just like Jen, I too left my heart in Dénia last week.

Today’s episode, I talk about the joys of attending speed awareness classes – thanks, Mr. Speed Camera – and have a moan about podcasters who auto-play their shows on their websites, and since it is around the third birthday of this show, [...]
