The Myco team had an expedition day at the start of February, which involved shooting clays and quad biking, in the pouring rain, one person politely bowed out of the quad bike experience (me) as I would have been more of a hinderance. We then went for a fabulous meal. Lots of laughs had by all, it was a great day/night.
So here’s to the continued sun, the end of the rain and we will meet again next month, which hails a new Financial Year and we will be celebrating in the coming months, two years of Myco Design!
