Welcome back to a new school year!

It is amazing how one job creates another (both jobs being quite large) but the end product is well worth the hassle.

Mrs. Harwood (whose art is commissioned under the website name Angela Wakefield) has given two full days of her time in order to paint our greenhouse wall. The children were in awe when each class looked at her website and saw her beautiful paintings. Here are just a couple….
