26th June 2022. Sitting on a wall, looking out to sea, headphones on. In a world of her own. Or at least trying to be. She looked about 15 or so and the boy, balancing on the wall, clearly getting on her nerves looked a couple of years younger. I assumed he was her annoying …

Wednesday 31st May, 2023 Imagine the strength it must take to smile at your torturer, to step outside your front door and go about your day like everything is fine when it is not.Imagine how brave you must be, to go back to the place where you know you will be hurt, really hurt, but …
