The Virginia Roundup

On this month's episode of The Virginia Roundup Gary Brazil takes us back to the times before smartphones and social media, a time when we may have been "bored" and had to fill the space with our own thoughts!
We speak to Rolf McLaughlin, Chair of the Virginia Community First Responders, who gives us an insight into the live-saving work that their volunteers do.
Michelle has some good advice for those of us who feel we are back on the hamster wheel now that summer is over and hectic routines have returned.
