The school run

We left on the cusp of late, but perfectly do-able,we arrived an hour late for school (it's a 10 minute drive). The barrier at the level crossing had broken and its on a single track road. So it took a while for the people at the front to realise it had broken, then we all had to turn around and get out.... mass chaos... the mini bus and Luton van behind us had real problems. Eventually made it out,went to the next crossing along, also broken, finally made it through and to school. I managed to miss two meetings as well. 

Youngest is missing his old school, we spent the evening looking at pictures given to him when he left. He said he felt much better. 

Eldest helped the youngest with homework after school, was lovely to watch them working together - I was finishing up work at the time.
