Have an enjoyable, safe weekend.

Mr Hughes

Thank you to everybody who has sent me images of their work from yesterday. Unfortunately, the ‘Review of the Day’ isn’t as long as it should’ve been as I’ve accidentally deleted a lot of the slides, which is very frustrating for me, as it took a long time to put together. If your work from home is not part of the slideshow, please accept my apologies.

Here’s Thursday’s ‘Review of the Day’.
