A post from our Community Correspondent Marilena Balagianni ‘Trust yourself kid’… Easily said, not easily done though. I’ve always struggled with taking the ‘right decision’. Am I a perfectionist or a coward? Feeling torn between logic and intuition is overwhelming. Is that an excuse for not being true to yourself? Of course not. We live […]
A poem from our Community Correspondent David Bradley Food It will soon be dinner time oh no what a dread if only they knew the thoughts in my head, with total strangers it’s not so bad, with family members it’s rather sad, I know who chews what oh no what a thought, crunch crunch, slurp […]
