Kathryn says goodbye in fun paper crown and pineapple spectacles
Blink & you'll miss it ... the entire RCVS team together!
A very rare full house & bittersweet irony as we say goodbye to our much-loved leader Kathryn - and we know our local VCS network feels the same
Laughter & tears as we mark the end of one era & the start of another 💞
Absolutely lovely in all ways, especially in such divisive & unsettled times
