Wed 12 Jun 2024Morning from Hautbois!
Well, that was a first, we had to wake over 80% of them up, to get dressed, packed and have breakfast! They've all packed something, not necessarily their own belongings and none of the cases look as lovely as when they were first opened! But never mind!
Now it's activity time!
