Not for any medical reason…this visit was different…we were working as volunteers at the information table for the Donatelife Week 2104. My husband had done this last year, but I missed out due to work […]
Today I did something I have never done before…I met up with some people who I had got to know online! Now before you start thinking I have been hanging around in online chat rooms…I was meeting fellow “pupils” who are doing the blogging course that I am currently doing… an online course run by […]
