The World Is My Cuttlefish
Hello Tara,
I just wanted to check if I’m the Annie Young you mention below. I’ve checked my junk mail and I know there are a few Anne Youngs in the PB world so it may be someone else but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks again for organising this amazing event. It’s so inspiring and useful.
Kind regards, Anne
