Boy got man of the match for his under 14s football team this weekend and I took a moody shot of a goalpost. We’re both happy. #FootballMum #Sunshine

This is half of the Highlights Team at Eden Rivers Trust. Dawn, Kate and Highlights Trustee Mary potted up tiny hawthorn trees, Joel spent the afternoon digging a hole. He was as happy as we’ve ever seen him because he loves digging holes. Please do admire said hole. #CommunityProject #RuralTouring
