I want to start off by saying THANK YOU so much for the enormous support that our community has shown for it. When I launched Abergavenny Kids three months ago I really had no idea how much it would be embraced. I've received the most amazing messages from people over the last couple of months expressing how much they've enjoyed what I've shared and also how they've enjoyed interacting with the community that Abergavenny Kids has become and I'm so grateful for that.
