Oh goodness Dotties, I am somewhat in a flap! Tomorrow Mr Polka and I jet out to a tropical island (hard work!) to explore their wedding venues and honeymoon offerings. It’s always a lot of fun when we get to do this, but I’ve been spending the week sorting everything out. Spontaneity is never my strong point!

What did you get up to this week? We’ve had a big week on the blogs, let’s round it up!
