Let's talk MINDFULNESS
Have you ever started to read something and then realised that you can't remember what you'd read? Or maybe you were watching your favourite TV series and found out that you missed what the main character said because you were buried in your thoughts.

Happy Best Friend Day

England-celebrating the Queen´s 90th birthday
