Miss Smith from @braeseng-media.bsky.social could really go pro with her dairy free cookies. She baked them for our first Books and Bakes of the session and they were delicious and all gone in seconds.

So happy that we have restarted our partnership with a local nursery - some S4 students from Miss McQuade's Early Years and Childcare course and I now have the opportunity to read with the nursery children every Thursday morning. Such a joy and its a definite highlight of my week!
