The Voice

With my little sister using pictures before I have a chance to (admittedly my own fault) I find the need to differentiate my blog now. So we're gonna try something new. With a little help from Dad, I've narrated this post so rather than read about what happened, you can listen to what happened in my own words - literally!

For those of you that get this blog via email, there's a YouTube "video" below but I've included the link as well. Click play and scroll the pics as I tell you what happened. Hope you enjoy!

Or watch/listen at YouTube
