Nellie never fails to pick up where Jo’s memory drops off!

Kinja came to woodwork afterschool classes at Two Sheds for many years. She has tonnes of woodwork skills, creativity & enthusiasm. When we asked Kinja to tell us something about herself she said ”I love dragons & sandwiches – but not at the same time!” Our kids love her.
