The last couple of weeks included some lovely days at Ness Gardens, an exciting day at the Lindley Trust's Festival of Outdoor Learning at the Hollowford Centre…and then there were the aliens and the beasts…

some of the aliens adapted cheerfully to life on Earth

And as for the Beasts…..they'll follow in the next blog
