On The Road
5:00am I woke with a groan, knowing damn well we should have went to bed long before 12am but I wanted to be the first to wish Autumne a happy birthday. I also knew my best friend very well and hit snooze, there was no way she’d be getting up just yet. I hit stop on the alarm […]

The faithful few that loved excitement formed […]

The sun shone as bright as it felt, warming my chocolate coloured skin, while the wind battled for dominance, the cool sea breeze tuning out the heat.

Below The Surface
Hi 🙂 I saw the Daily Post prompt, Let’s Go Crazy and the final instructions follow. “What’s the most crazy, outrageously impulsive thing you’ve ever done?
