The visit
Carol, Nick and Johnnie came to visit, a little more detail on the Joan page.
Oooo, oh oh, Carol..[Insert music notes here]
We get our own party of the royal visit here tomorrow, with any luck they’ll have a super drive.

Crab Apple jelly?
At least we think that’s what it is, beautiful at this time of year.
Where’s the fairy?
