Facey Bee just reminded me it's been 8 years since I noticed that the Despicable Me franchise stole my face, and I've still not seen a penny in royalties.
Please do not flush your apples, socks or whole fish down the toilet, thank you.
Ready for Christmas now after our 10th annual xmas markets trip in Lille! First time on the Eurostar, loved the freedom to overfill my bag with wine, cheese & macarons on the way home 🍷🧀
