GAGs- GeniAus' Gems - 7 April 2017

I have realy enjoyed my blog reading this week although I have concentrated on blogs from below the equator. Some weeks there are so many posts that resonate with me while in other weeks there are slimmer pickings, this was a bumper week.

1. Please help Jenny find her soldier.

2. No doubt there will be a flurry of posts on this topic. This was the first I read.
