From turtles to a wish to weigh under ten stone (Rousse)
I left my school friend KC in charge of the mixed selection of beautiful green-striped turtles that were climbing up our side of the bath. This allowed me to drive south to collect my mother from my cousins’ house in … Continue reading
Sunny South Shields shelters skiers (Rousse)
