We have decided to let PLAYGROUP take a little break for the summer months- yes, it’s true! There’s an awful lot of organizing and admin that goes on behind the scenes and with everyone up to different things over the summer months we thought it best to let our creative get together take a breather while everyone makes the most of that lovely sunshine! We’ll keep you posted on when we will be back, so keep checking in on the D-light blog and Playgroup Facebook page. Thanks so much for all your support and interest so far. See you in a few months!!!
