Can you spot Jasper?

You might be wondering, “who is Jasper?” Well, let us enlighten you!

During the process of rebuilding our website, Mary Rose used photos of her feline companion, Jasper, as temporary images. As a fun little game, we’ve intentionally hidden one image of Jasper somewhere within our website. 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to embark on a captivating journey through our website and notify us the moment you discover Jasper’s secret hiding spot! 

Prepare yourself for a thrilling deep-dive into the intricacies of our website as you engage in this delightful quest. Happy hunting!
