Welcome back to my 30 Day Book Challenge.

Share Your World 22nd June 2020
Have you ever ‘dined and dashed” (i.e. eaten the meal and then run out the restaurant door without paying)? Not intentionally and even then it wasn't a full affair as such. I had gone to a pub in the Dales for a spot of lunch and gone back to my digs. Upon my return I … Continue reading Share Your World 22nd June 2020
