A few pictures from our fragrant flower workshop 💐🌷

In Margaret’s words ‘we have had a truly magical day’ 🥰
We spent the day at Paradise Wildlife Park 🐅🦁
We were lucky to get close to some of our favourite animals 🦦🐍
Ann said her favourite was the camels as they have the hump like she often does 😂🐫
Sue was delighted when her son and his family surprised her by joining us.
All definitely worth the trip 🚐
