We wave goodbye to our 'fearless' leader...
So September provided us with a monumental and emotional experience…..we gathered all of our strength, held back the tears and waved farewell to our brave and ferocious leader….Davy (does sarcasm translate over text?…..)
Davy headed off on his African adventure, leaving Simon and I in an emotional and forlorn state…..no no I joke, we kept it together :) Although we very...

IC IN THE PARK- June 21st
