Rugby Dad

Happy Friday !!

I was asked  to make a Rugby card for one of my friends but the difficulty was for the past three years she has asked for the same thing so I'm running out of images.

This time I came up with something totally different........

A Mother's Day gift.....

Hi Everyone

I have spent most of my week making Mother's day presents and thought I would share 

a couple with you .....

Mon petit French exchange student Jonas goes 

home tomorrow and I'm gutted - I've loved having him here and it's been great 

company for Lewis. 

I am not as apprehensive about Lewis going now as I know they get on so well.

Here is a photo I took of them walking -

 Lewis is probably 5'7" and he is only 4 weeks older than 'petit Jonas' ;0)

Thanks for stopping by
