Overgrown

We’ve enjoyed another typical Saturday with our not-the-park run- run before breakfast, the weekly shop and our regular walk with Chris this afternoon. This gate to one of the footpaths on our route was in need of a bit of clearing. Have it a touch of the vintage treatment.

Kate phoned to say that she had a phone call from Sophie’s teacher yesterday after school. They’d been making Father’s Day cards and the teacher had been explaining that there were different kinds of families, some with fathers and some without and, as an example, explained that her own Dad had passed away last year. Anyway, when she was going round the class looking at the cards they were making, Sophie had written on hers “To Daddy, Glad you’re not dead, love Sophie”! The teacher thought she’d better phone up to explain! We were in stitches, as was Joel when Kate phoned to give him the heads up before he collected her from school and saw the card. Kids, eh?
