It's Spooooky season at Whitegates respite! 🎃

Abbie had a crack at pumpkin carving and we think it turned out very well indeed!

Meanwhile, Izaak had a creative idea for green, chocolatey Halloween cookies 🍪

It was an absolute joy to watch Abbie and Izaak take on these challenges and we think they did brilliantly!!
