We had an Italian themed Budz week recently to celebrate one of our volunteers, Mikey. Mikey is visiting England for a short time and will soon be heading back to his homeland of Italy. To thank him for all his efforts we cooked delicious pasta with garlic, basil, olive oil & tomatoes – the colours of the Italian flag. We also decorated the famous ‘boot’ of Italy in VERY stylish, crafty ways, and learnt lots about the country.
