I've decided to start writing a blog about the work I am doing behind the scenes. It's much more interesting than just making a brew, trust me.....
And myself as editor have more of a role to play than just churning out posts of good will. kindness and saddleworthlife.com/editors-…

Fancy a walk?
“It is far better to get outside on to the wide open heaths, to smell the turf and let the clean winds whistle through your system. It is in effect like flushing a sewer”! (Ammon Wrigley, 1916)
