Fresh facts (that just need a good rinse)
When mother sent us out for fresh facts this morning, she never dreamt that we’d bring home such a massive haul. We couldn’t be more proud of ourselves, but her slightly worried smile tells us that it might be a bit too much. They won’t last forever, after all.
