Scaredy Cat Challenge – Spring in my Step
Time for a new Scaredy Cat Challenge. Time to put the spring back in my step! I recently got my 'undercarriage' checked at the doctors and we got talking about my feet.

Time for a quick update on my latest Scaredy Cat Challenge... learning to play the piano! 🙂 I went for my second piano lesson last Friday.
