Update on Blog

Well,

I have had a bit of spare time today and decided that my blog needed a bit of an update. I have decided to go for the pink/green floral theme, and I must say that it seems pretty good.
Let me know what your thoughts on it are.

As you can see I have also been adding various cards as well, please feel free to comment on these.

Well that's me for now, keep safe
