3BT – scent, back to classes, filthpots, soggy Spring

1. The smell – a pleasantly, slightly perfumed smell – reminds me of someone I know. I’m not sure who but I must like them as it makes me smile without thinking. 2. It’s lovely to see how some of the kids have been transformed by working on the show – the workshops are a [...]
