I’m very proud the MSG’s agreed to become the MSF Blog Discussion

Hot diggedy dog !!P.P.S. I know many people ask ‘who is the MSG?’ and my tradition is to answer ’she’s the MSG’. Yet in this case, it is relevant, so as a one off, my lovely fiance’s name is Lara Lewington
Just a little personal note. Over the Christmas period, I surprised the MSG by proposing via a Scrabble set on the top of Table Mountain at sunset (setting up the letters took a lot of pre-planning). And I’m more than delighted to say, she said yes and has become the MSF.
So how did Martin fix the Scrabble letters ??
