This month’s WEP/IWSG Challenge was as inevitable as the dreadful and ongoing tragedy in Ukraine. I’ve attempted to continue my tale of two aviatrix cousins from April, using the suggested approach of ‘correspondence’ – nowadays emails etc. However, I was unable to catch the emotions involved as others did so well last Challenge. Also, I … Continue reading

I must reassure the Ninja … Continue reading
