Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Summer ?

It's the summer solstice today. According to Google it's the first day of summer though I would have thought that it should be mid-summer seeing as the nights will now start drawing in -sob. The clouds have been down low and we have had almost continuous soft rain all through the day. The clouds parted briefly at 5.00 giving a short spell of very hot sun but it's now grey and chilly once more.
Traffic jam on the way home. 
 The road home was gently steaming.
I had a good day in school. It was all about eating healthily. The children looked at a variety of fruit and veg, designed posters, drew fantastic cross-sections of fruit using pens and and did some printing with the fruit.  This is all towards a display at the Health Centre. Then of course I cut up all the fruit apart from the pieces covered in paint and the children had them as a snack. Our school is part of a healthy eating scheme and the children get a free snack of fruit or vegetables each day. Some bring their own but other snacks, including muesli bars which are high in sugar, are not allowed.
