A 47yo woman was killed in a suspected murder yesterday in Bridgend. She was attacked, and then crashed her car while driving away, before dying from her injuries. We drove past the crash site this morning on the school run.

A sad day for our town 😢

Just in case anyone's missing my collection of yellow-orange hued 'back to the camera' missionary book covers, here's some released this month to go with the others....
