Without Words - Summer Holidays.

Good morning all.
I hope you are all well.
I have another full on week this week, extra shifts at work, a work meeting, a school meeting because my laddo is going to Standon Bowers with school soon.
He also has a leavers photo on Tuesday and then next it will be the leavers play and sports day and then finally a prom.
