Beauty Treatment at The Body Shop
I’m still recovering after the photowalk yesterday! I took a quick look through my photos this evening and decided I’m not over the moon about any of them. A couple are ok, but there’s that little critical part of my mind saying, “crap, crap, crap, blah, ‘s ok, focus is off, boring, what were you…

Oil and gas became more popular. Legislation banned any coal other than smokeless coal from urban areas and the…
