Moving on; I’m not going to say it was easy, sometimes it was extremely difficult – two children relied upon me and I was responsible for their safety and well-being. Starting over after an abusive relationship is one of the most difficult tasks I’ve undertaken to date – and that includes walking 20 feet of [...]

Urban Explorers

by Lesley

Urban Explorers written by Violet Macdonald All around us there is a hidden world drenched in history we have forgotten.
