On my website, how can I make a word or multiple words into a link? I was thinking of a series I watched a couple of years ago involving two 18 year old sisters, a chip shop, and a rock and roll band set in the middle of England, but I can't remember the name of it. Can anyone help? Minerals can make sand a variety of colours but is there anywhere I could go to see a blue or purple beach?
