Although Julie is away in Niue drinking coconut water and learning how to weave, the little latch on session is still on tomorrow. A couple of the Mums will set up, so go along for a cuppa and a chat.
If you have questions, you can message this page and Julie will respond when she can (isn't always near wifi).
