Blog everyday in May – Day 6

Day 6 A favourite photo of you. Gosh. This is a tough one given I generally don’t like photos of me and see all the faults! I had a quick look through some recent photos and recalled there were some taken by my friend Beck back in March that I do like because they aren’t posed. Beck ...
