Susan, Alex's mum, has some photos of Piggy, who has since become a permanent resident at their home, of his trip with Alex. Together with Alex she will sort the photos out and share them with us. Perhaps we could help Alex to make a book about Piggy Wiggy's trip.
ReplyDeleteA GREAT idea, Susan! Thank you.
