Mr. Spindler's Corner
It's been a wonderful year with all of you though a strange one so I'm sending you an encoded message for you to figure out. Check out the video and you'll see what I mean. Use your head and see if you can write out my secret message from my yoga poses.
Take care,
Secret Video
All the best,
