Ev’s Picture Gallery

I have taken my message of adoption loss and recovery to many places and have made lots of friends along the way. Many people have welcomed both me and my message. These photographs, many of which tie in with the events listed on the ‘presentations’ page, bring back great memories for me and I hope that those who visit my picture gallery will be able to share the enjoyment they bring me.
