Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.

If you get a message from a Skype contact that looks like this:

If you’ve already been infected, or if you know someone who has, instructions for removing the virus are under the cut.
