3/    October 2020. THE NEWS (the pandemic) versus PEOPLE

                                           A doom and gloomy period (pandemic) ...              
 
                                   but a positive attitude in our homes, sweet homes...
​


As the motto of myTiclass says:


"When stressed out,


just brew up,


while enjoying the blog"...


Yes indeed, enjoy a cup of tea

with a slice of organic bread

and a little homemade jam!
