Never Give Up

Posted on August 28, 2021 by charliecountryboy

NC500 Day 5 Out of the Mist

Posted on July 30, 2021 by charliecountryboy

“It’s not rain,” I said. “Rain falls from a cloud, we’re driving through a cloud, so it’s not rain. We’re part of the rain, part of the cloud, we’re at one with nature.” I was feeling philosophical. “Bollocks,” the Princess … Continue reading →
