I’m going to be sad from this time next week, because it’ll be a temporary half to my School Days posts over the summer holidays. But it’ll be back from September, ready for all those writing about their new school…
We’re racing towards the end of the school year, and N’s going to have a shock over the summer when he doesn’t need to be in that school routine. Mind you, he’ll be in holiday club for much of it,…
