It’s interesting how our views vary, but we gain other perspectives from our discussion.
We also share the titles of books we’ve read and enjoyed, and have compiled a list of recommended books under different genres for others to consider (obtainable from Louise).
Pass on any ideas to me - they will be welcomed.
