Do you prefer telehealth?

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14160) • Ireland 7 Nov

Light, bright sunshine on a Friday morning in November matches my mood - no work to see to, just rest and the time to savour light, bright autumnal sunshine. There’s little in the air by way of warmth, but climbing up through the...
