Happy Monday everyone! Today is Monday 27th April.
I hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. I saw some horses, sheep and cows, when I went for my exercise on Saturday and I planted some bee-friendly seeds in a pot in the garden so I'm hoping that we get lots of bees to watch soon.
Q: What do elves do after school?
A: Gnomework!
Start you day with a prayer:
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those that trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
amen.
