By Iain 27 February 2022Creativity, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

So this last week was half term for my lovely little boy, which meant that there was not as much progress on the goals as usual. It was more of a "thinking" week rather than a "doing" week.

If he's not losing the labels off packages, turning up incredibly late or letting live animals out of their travel enclosures,…
