Episode 7
Sorry this one was late guys! Technology is not Rebecca’s friend and Andrea is off in Peru. This week Caroline and Rebecca argue about the merit of Instagram. Caroline is stubborn in her seperation of her life and her art while Rebecca is loosey goosey in her use of Instagram. That sounds you keep hearing is ice cubes swishing in our glasses - because we are classy.
