End of term

Last day of P7 for Miss K, and last day as primary school parents for us. Tears from lots of the kids apparently, but K wasn't so moved. Last day with us all together for a while: Mme A and the girls are off to France tomorrow for three weeks. I'm staying to run my conference for a week then two weeks off work to tackle jobs in the house and garden that just aren't getting done.

Two adjacent shrubs in flower in our garden and some blue sky: that's about as good as it's been this "summer".
