A celebration with friends

Yesterday this lovely group of friends, most of who we have known for 30 years, helped me celebrate the publishing of my new book. Don’t you just want to hugs them all lol. We started out as friends when we all had young children we now call ourselves the ‘ grandmothers club’ and now show […]
