Birds flying

We were high up, so at the same level as the birds were flying.  We were speechless, no one there had seen anything quite like that … Read more

KitKat Knew All Along

KitKat Thinking

KitKat knew it years ago. Ok they were trying to sell more chocolate bars but actually if we all stuck to their advice we’d be better off for it.
