January I finally published my photographic book – A Book Of Photographic Images. A collection of my photos with matching quotes. I matched the photo with the quote. February I left one job for another. I was not happy, so I found myself working for Mencap. I was so relieved and was looking forward to it. …
January Well, what a start to 2020! The very first day of the new year, I got to spend a glorious day with my best friend and life partner – Chris! (He loves it when I call him my life partner! Hee hee) I was on a trip to Brussels and Chris came to meet …
