A little update on our gorgeous ducklings 🐥💛
They have now safely moved to their new home with Zenny, our lovely night nurse, where they’ll be very well looked after. We already miss their tiny waddles and cheepy little noises around the home! Here is a video of the ducklings enjoying their new garden — including their very enjoyable bath, which is just adorable 🛁✨
🌺🌴 This afternoon we celebrated A Taste of Fiji and what a wonderful experience it was!
Our very own Abbi brought along a vibrant group of performers who filled the garden with energy, colour, and joy. The dancing and singing were absolutely fabulous, and it was so special to learn some fascinating facts about Fiji along the way 🇫🇯✨
Our very first Language Café was a great success, bringing everyone together to share culture, stories, and smiles. We’re already looking forward to next month as we explore and celebrate Nigeria 🌍💛
Our talented Nahid has been getting creative again and put together this lovely video capturing some of our Easter fun 🐣🌸
It’s so special to look back on these moments and see all the smiles, laughter, and joy shared together.
Thank you, Nahid, for all the time and care you put into creating these memories for us 💛
