Back When Elvis Came To Town

As Di said, this seems a rather abrupt way to give you the diagnosis. But maybe it's a safety mechanism for some doctors, in that detachment may seem like the only way of coping with so regularly having to give bad news. 

I'm sorry it wasn...

This is beautiful Jenny! And it's always so wonderful when a piece of work from one writer sparks something off in another.

Yes, another book! How lovely

Posted on Wed, 13 Apr 2022
