It's time to add the long-awaited Dale Kids' page! The page will be rather disorganised for a while as I add material.
Please note that I have tried to find a variety of suitable sites that
might be of interest to Dale Kids. However, I am not responsible for the
content of outside sites linked to from the Armadale website. If the
content of any site changes and becomes unsuitable for Dale Kids, please
let me know and the link will be removed! Do you know of a site that
Dale Kids would like to visit? |
