It's always the days when you have masses to do that you find the most interesting rabbit holes to hop down. If you're looking for coffee break/lunchbreak/any-excuse-for-a-break quality distraction, look no further... #hardy #wessexlovesongs kickstarter.com/projects/wesseโ€ฆ

This was hands down one of the best things Iโ€™ve ever been to. Peter is such an engaging speaker/singer/writer/artist and his book is stunning. Get to one of his book tour events if you possibly can. These images really stop you in your tracks.
