The sheer overwhelm, too much information on speed, a lot of it questionable, too much of it unkind. If you’re thinking it’s not that much that’sContinueContinue reading “My New Private Facebook Group”

Public transport. Lots of garden areas. Play areas for children, spaces for teenagers. Lots of entertainment for everyone. Live music on weekendContinueContinue reading “For people”
