Living in the Heart of Flanders!

The things that can happen in the space of a week when you're living in the heart of Flanders.

James Moss Blog: Starting Writing

For those of you who don't know me - and I imagine that is most of you - my name is James Moss and I am about to begin my third season as a full time professional.
