Reuben has become very enthusiastic about drawing over the past couple of months.  Our house is awash with pictures, mostly showing monsters of various kinds, but the other day he came home from school with something a bit different, involving his teacher, Ms Cochrane.

There was cake (raspberry and white chocolate - yum!)...
