Last full day at school for my boy. I am no longer going to be the mum of a school child. We have made our last packed lunch! I enter a new phase of life. It feels quite strange to be saying that. 22 years ago Josh started school and we began the journey with education. We have seen many, many changes over that time. Thankfully our children have all gone to great schools, where they have been encouraged to strive for the best that they can be. They have been given many opportunities to try new things and to experience travel, the arts, music, sports, etc.... alongside their academic pursuits. I am very thankful for all the teachers who have encouraged and stretched them. We are particularly thankful to Reading School who kept Ben in school at a time when he was very sad. They put his needs above the needs for results and for that we are grateful. It is wonderful to be in this place now.
I am so enjoying the sunshine. Hopefully it is getting ready for next Wednesday when we go to Chelsea. The tickets are booked, as is the wheelchair. We decided that without it we wouldn't be able to see very much as my back would seriously limit what we could do. I am particularly looking forward to seeing Alan Titmarsh's garden.
This weekend we have a gardening theme. We are going to a garden centre and then coming back to plant. Our garden is looking very lovely - clothed in spring colours., it just needs it's summer clothing.
