I woke up at 7.50 this morning and all the children were still asleep. Murron with arms flung open and her hair spread wildly over her pillow, Rowan completely hidden beneath her duvet and Sam oblivious to the music still playing in his room. It was a mad rush to make packed lunches and get them all ready for the bus. Sam missed his and the girls made theirs - just. Only two more days to go and then we can sleep in for seven weeks! I am dreaming of late breakfasts eaten on the stoop whilst the children run around the garden in their PJs. It was a good day though spent catching up with friends, browsing the shelves in the bookshop for some summer reading and a blustery walk on the beach. Despite the wind and a skimpy t-shirt it was surprisingly warm and I could have walked for hours.
