         Many thanks to the Martynenko brother and sister. They were so keen on the event that asked their Mum to take on the role in the 'The Lion and the Mouse' play. They were superb!
         I wish everyone much success. And a piece of advice ~ to reach anything it is necessary firstly to do something!
         Enjoy the videos from the event!

Well begun is half done
