Celia is taking annual leave from tomorrow (Friday 11th) until Wednesday 23rd April for her final wedding preparations, and the big day itself!
As you might remember from the weeknotes we published in late March, Andrew is also currently on paternity leave.

Our Derby group were the first to use our recently published our ‘How to turn your Local Welcome meal into a picnic’ toolkit and enjoyed a sunny end to their meal last weekend 😍
