October's the month of domestic violence awareness, so here's one from my collection, You'll Never Be Anyone Else. The trauma is aways there waiting to be triggered.
Delighted to be part of @candlestickpress.bsky.social celebrating Somerset and its landscape.Their anthologies are always beautiful and very popular
I had a book of Mum's, 'Like Mama Used To Make', recipes from a Jewish women' group. I turned it into an altar to recipes at a conference and asked women to pin family recipes to it. A friend & I produced a new collection from them. If I can find a suitable photo, I'll post it here. xxx
Thank you so much
