Riley's picture

Members of Inverloch and the greater area public often give us donations of things like vegetables grown in their backyard or food they have noticed on special at the supermarket during the year (we are so grateful and love feeling part of the community).  Yesterday, a visitor to site gave us a picture of a fossil that he had drawn for us.  We think it's pretty cool and have placed it proudly on our fridge.
