A change is as good as a rest

This morning Master B went to pre-school instead of his usual afternoon slot. The reason being I'd volunteered to help walk the children in Miss Bs class to the local garden centre, and back, to procure plants that butterflies enjoy for their plot in the school garden. My team had to hunt down cornflowers and echinacea, we were thankfully victorious in our search and I was impressed with their eager concentration. It was a change from the norm and so I really enjoyed it. Two miles there and back at a frog march pace resulted in the kids sitting silently on the carpet munching their apples. Shattered!
