  6. Number 4- I love to offer to take pictures of families together, so often it's mum or dad in the picture whilst the other takes the photo or it's a squinty selfie squished in together. It's lovely when you get the chance to have a proper family photo.

  7. So many wonderful acts of kindness! I often offer and get asked to take photos of others; probably because I am usually walking around with my big camera and they see that I enjoy taking photos. I have tried repeatedly through the years to donate blood but I have never been able to.
