31 Years - and Episode 84 of Understanding Photography with Kim Ayres

"My mother’s looking after the kids on Saturday evening," she said, casually dropping it into the conversation, as though her mother would quite often have the children to stay over for no particular reason.

"Perhaps I’ll pop round, if I’m not doing anything else," he said, trying to appear nonchalant while his mind raced on how he might get out of his sister’s birthday celebrations.

Happy anniversary, my love x

And if you decide to click through and view it directly on YouTube (rather than here on the blog), then you can watch the Live Chat Replay and see the comments people are writing in real time as the podcast progresses.
