Week 4
Hello Finches, I hope you have all had a good week. What an inspiration 100 year old "Captain Tom" is, raising over 32 million pounds for our wonderful NHS and its charities! Even Lacey has done a rainbow . . . . . with a little help:
I hope you have managed to get out for your exercise this week, we can't believe how much the grass has grown after the rain:
Lacey knows all the places where she can get treats, especially biscuits . . . . . . . . . . . but sadly, they're all closed!
