Pop Goes The Kitten
When I meet new people they often ask me do I not miss the US. I don't miss anything except the people, but one thing I do wish we had the equivalent of in SA is shopping. The UK and the US have such great sales and a better quality of merchandise generally. I miss …
Tuesday, Bloody Navvy

Not So Easy E’s

Riding Into The Wind
