10 things I did at Komatsu
Oh, I haven’t had so much fun for a while. Well, I always have fun. Perhaps being with the Katos transport me back to when I was sixteen – young and carefree. It’s a different kind of fun. But I think it’s mainly because the Katos are my favourite people in the world – they are …
