FOUND ❤️

Our wee Pam hasn’t been spotted this morning, and we’re starting to worry ❤️‍🩹

She’s not the adventurous type so we don’t think she’ll have strayed far. Most likely she's still lurking somewhere around the Latter Street area

If you happen to spot her, please let us know - turns out anxious staff don’t make the most efficient workers!
