Sunday 8th Feb

Thursdays Child

Robin & Joanna Minchin

Sun 8 Feb 2015 20:09

Rain stopped play.

Torrential rain began at midnight Saturday and it is still pouring down 9pm Sunday.
So a day on board doing airfix models, drawings, diaries, reading, and a bit of Disney at the end of the day for light relief.
