Our day begins at the wonderful Windmill Primary School in Oxford.
We visited Windmill Primary in 2017, and on that occasion we planted a tree for Peace. That tree is flourishing and today we are going to plant a second tree, a hazel tree.
Windmill School kindly planted another Peace Tree to mark the arrival of the Peace Run.
