2.5 kids......

......all too typically, the start of the new school year around here has brought with it nice weather so it was just 'smalls' on the beach this morning.....those kids who haven't already 'gone back' are no doubt at home packing pencil cases with novelty rubbers/erasers and moaning about the onset of the school dinner season and incoming cold fronts of lumpy custard (Muuuurm, can't I have packed lunch?)........meanwhile their fond parents are trying really, really hard to hide their inner jubilation at the prospect of a light at the end of the tunnel.....ah yes, I remember it well;-)
