There’s very little worse I think, than sick and uneasy feeling that comes from returning to my shelter bubbling over with enthusiasm and ideas, only to have it met with if not open hostility, bemused apathy. I hadn’t realised how quashed I’d become in these last few months. That’s dangerous thinking; they’re pretty extremist ideas […]
