Ramble Time
by Charlene Upex
A British 80s child sharing thoughts and reflections on life. Having been through a great deal of ups and downs in my life, I have become very reflective of late and felt the need to share my thoughts with you all - aren't you lucky! So grab a brew and join me down the rabbit holes of life as we ramble our way though a variety of topics. Fair warning though, they won't all be fun and light-hearted (although most will be). If there are any topics which you wish to share your thoughts on or even have an idea for a topic you'd like me to cover, please do get in touch either via the Facebook page or via email: [email protected]

What is Love?
Today's episode is a shorter ramble about love, what society seems to deem it, but what it really is to me - hippy edition! ......and I now have you singing "What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more"....or is that just me?
