Another new start. Part 1

I've said before how quickly time flies, I knew I hadn't written anything for a very long time, but I didn't realise it was nearly 2 years. Forgive me, I will try to get you up to date with what has been occuring. As always all events are in the blog are true stories, only…

Social Media Rabbit Holes….from a Ballet Tutu, to an Ex wife in three easy moves.

We've all done it, sat down with a coffee, maybe exhausted, maybe bored, but for whatever reason we've picked up our phone and started scrolling, or maybe it should be called stalking?
