June: Rainbow I know what you’re thinking: ‘Rainbow isn’t a colour’. Well no, it’s better than ‘A’ colour – it’s ALL of the colours! ha I know for some people rainbow stripe can be a bit much, but it seems to be everywhere I go at the moment and with it being Pride month it felt only right to celebrate with a colour calendar.
