YSABEL BY GUY GAVRIEL KAY (BOOK REVIEW)

On the brighter side, at least I'm still quite fit despite being chronically ill and unwell. My work definitely keeps me fit as it is extremely active. Plus, I have wonderful colleagues, so at least something, right? These photographs I'll share today were taken before the official opening of this beach that was set on the first day of Summer.
