    As someone who has to read the news each and every day, it can get a little too much at times.

    Open just about any news site and tales of woe will greet you, so let’s take a moment away from that for a feelgood story.

    Paul Talliard’s name might not be familiar to you, but it is to many Capetonians looking for a fresh start.

    Carte Blanche covered his story, and that of his social enterprise, Hands of Honour, recently:
