AndyKnillArt ends 2024

So, 2024 included a 13 consecutive day run up to Christmas Eve. Miracles, I didn’t get ill but did get very tired, unsurprisingly. I don’t always seem to learn or make logical decisions that take in to consideration my own well being. Why such a silly idea? Well to try and get any sales I …
