We were invited for socially-distanced drinks in a friend's garden and The Boy Child was invited to take a dip ... I made a flip card to record the story. … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 29 and 30
At this point of the year I usually have a day-to-day plan written out of how the Summer holidays might play out ... not this year. Obviously.
