A couple of months ago, right before Covid-19 swept through the world, I moved out of London. Not only that but I bought a house with the woman I plan on marrying in the next few years. We're going to get a pet. A pet and a garden shed and hopefully, if we're lucky, children.… Continue reading Happy Changes by Eden Darry
I’ve seen sixty two years of life and they’ve been jam-packed with changes, not just in how life is lived, but in what happened to the ‘facts’ I learned when I was young.

A joyful occasion that you see as a steppingstone toward lifelong happiness with the person you love with all your heart. So yes, it is a big… Continue reading Life Stories By Gun Brooke
What do YOU think of when I say the word change? That's the theme of this year's Bold Strokes bookathon, which is taking the place of the annual in-person event in Nottingham, England.
