When I was a bairn I was always falling over myself staring at people. Literally got told off all the time for watching people everywhere; in the supermarket, swimming baths, at the park, everywhere. I sometimes wonder if the fact people stare at me so much now is karma. Day to day it’s not that… Continue reading O – Ogle
