Another beautiful read. It reminded me of the time I had to play rounders in my pants because my Mum forgot to pack my P.E kit. Not sure that would fly in 2025…

I remember seeing lots of parents in tears on the first drop off day. I couldn't understand why they weren't as pleased as I was for them to start this new adventure and to finally get some time back for myself. Fast forward a good many years with the youngest about to start their last year of Primary this week. I think I'll be emotional this time.

I’m with on this one Helene. Life has so many unexpected observation points. But that is one where you can see in both directions. Look forward to hearing the next instalment. X
