I re-discovered sleep during the half term holidays, as the rotters were handed over to their grandparents during a hostage transfer at a Little Chef service station.

The summer holidays are officially over. Mums and dads made a collective sigh of relief yesterday morning as their little darlings were ushered towards the school gates for the first day of the autumn term.

It’s nearly the end of the first week of the summer school holidays and I’m already exhausted after three days with the rotters. With another six long weeks to go, I was pleased to hear that children who run around all day fall asleep faster and have a better night’s rest. A study of more [...]

The Easter school holiday was celebrated with an end of term concert. The theme was the four seasons and I took the morning off work to watch the big rotter dance around the stage as a giant leaf. She was a brilliant leaf and her best friend was a tree. All the parents [...]
