10 goals for 2010 – end of year round-up
So at the start of 2010, I set myself 10 goals: 1. To make a meal using only ingredients I’ve grown, raised, caught or killed myself. 2. To travel to a place on my “top ten places to go before I die” list. 3. Finish writing my second novel. 4. Learn how to make sausages [...]
