It’s been a while…….

The blog has been shamefully neglected for two main reasons of late.

The second, more shamefully, involved a cup of hot coffee, my computer and a wrinkle in my rug…..anyway, I am heading

Over the last couple of weeks we have continued to assist Entrust with the awesome work they do with primary school kids at Standon Bowers.
