FOXHILLS musings

We have a lot of book worms in the Papilio team of whom Laura is one. So it was only right that she showed you this weeks sign.

If you live in Thornbury then hopefully you've heard about Thornbury Welcomes.

An extremely useful Makaton sign this week - chocolate. Jakki Brown who is Joint Managing Director of Max Publishing is our signer this week.

We will try and share the article with you when it's out.
