Snack time

Frieda, at nearly 18 months, finds her older cousin Eben to be the best playmate ever. They had a lovely time together this morning, with us, in the informal childcare bubble (a phrase I would not have recognised a year ago).

Will they both be back at school and nursery next week, or not? We are in Tier 3. Our numbers have just stopped dropping and started to plateau at around 175 per 100,000.

They are expected to go back. But I guess parents and teachers will be the last to find out about any change of plan.
