Thank you to everyone who came to our Picnic in the Park.

What a day! Mainly sunny, with a bit of sudden rain and wind, but that certainly did not stop us all from having fun. Buzz certainly enjoyed making friends and trying the activities (videos to come!).

As a small group, we love seeing the community come together, and while the summer activities are now complete, we look forward to seeing you near Christmas.

If you have any photos from today, please share. We love to see them.

Have a wonderful Bank Holiday! 😀
