We are just coming to the end of exam season here in the UK and our eldest grand-daughter is in the final days of some key exams. She is a bright cookie but sometimes doubts her own abilities so when the exams started back in early May I made and sent her this card to let her know she was in our thoughts.

So today I share, pretty June Blossoms.
