So we have a bad history when it comes to people coming to stay for a few days. Sometimes a fire, sometimes a flood. The curse has included a tornado and I am definitely against the pestilence part of the prophecy, but we did have an invasion of ants once and a horde of lady…
Read MoreLasting Relationships
My stories are based on establishing long lasting relationships, an in real life I have plenty of examples to draw on.
