Left hand turns, while driving, a car can be tricky!! I remember chatting to people who had just learned to drive and laughing at the circuitous routes they took to get from A to B, in order to avoid a left hand turn. Driving is supposed to speed things up. I could have walked there […]

When I need a lift, I often turn to poetry or photography.
