Perfect read on the commute home from another fab morning of speech and language sessions at @DownrightExcel1 ! After following Sarah (@dontbesorry2) and her family on Fb and Instagram for a couple of years I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this ☺️

I’ve been quiet on here this week. Mostly because I haven’t had much to say but mainly because it’s the big countdown to Sunday and ALL I can think about, is that I’ve got to run 26.2 miles 😳... facebook.com/story.php?stor…
