Project 365 2018 Week 26 Days 175 – 181 Sunday 24th June – Day 175 A glorious day for my great-niece’s Christening.

Sports Day in Year Three

Monkey doesn’t like it, in fact that’s quite an understatement. Joining in with Sports Day just doesn’t happen here. We woke up yesterday, it wasn’t raining,…Continue reading Joining in with Sports Day
