Since 2012, I’ve had a public place to write, usually some kind of blog. This is my third, each one serving a purpose before coming to a natural end, and something new taking its place. The first was allchangeforpaps – my 2012 photo-a-day diary. This was the year I became single for the first timeContinue reading “New project”
