Evening #MedSky and #SASsky community, do me a favour spread this one for us? We'd love to keep the momentum we started on the other place alive and well on this one. #SASsix youtu.be/d7VBKNdgiY8?...

I seem to be here now… Yet another platform but hoping this one will be the right one. Hello to all you lovely people!! Any recommendations on who to follow? #blueskiesahead
