Here are some of the suggestions: Joel-"I would like my pound to give everyone a warm cosy home, I know a pound won't be enough [...]
We have had a great day making (and eating) biscuits! Hopefully some of them made it home and you've all sampled the end products!Big thanks to all who spent the day with us - your help was very much appreciated.
Keri and Ashleigh were crazy to agree to this on a Roast Dinner day! When the children declared, "I'm finished, what shall I do now?" little did they know of the work going on in the background. Thanks Keri & Ashleigh!
