I have finally, finally taken the plunge and signed up for a Pinterest account almost a year after my cousin first invited me! In only a few hours of use, the extent of my “pins” is an assortment of ampersands (somewhat predicatable) and a selection of pink hair (slightly less predictable).

I don’t buy into any of the sappy, money making side of things, but I don’t think it escaped anyone’s attention that today is not just any old Tuesday, it’s The Day of Love, and so what better day to share ‘Love Ampersand’ by Graham Smith?
