#LippyPeople are getting ready to release the next round of the 4 L's Project.
A crucial step is reviewing the videos, to ensure everyone is happy with the way their story is told.

Holt Park aren't letting the cooling weather keep them inside! Walks with animals and in nature- like their recent trip to Yeadon Tarn, are the perfect way to watch the seasons change and keep fit.

And Ros' smile says it all...
