Counting Beans

By Emily

If all the numbery stuff and accounting witchcraft gives you the willies, if you're a creative person and just wish someone would explain it all simply without all the jargon, well, this is the place for you.

Well, this is my other Substack publication (accountant by day an' all that) so I have to recommend it, right?

Grandad's Blue Chair

Lydia is my dear friend and her writing is light, and bright and good for the soul. It is also downright funny at times, and has often had me spitting out my tea.
