The journey to get Jake from school is done!! I roasted in the car for 21/2 hours before stopping at Donnington Services to meet my friend and cool down, we had our lunch then back to our cars to continue the journey to York, the car (parked in the shade) was boiling and the temp on the dashboard read 36!! It was too hot and even with the air con it was still hot. So back on the motorway and more 40 mph zones!
A lovely evening with some of J's friends and next morning up to school to load up the car with all of Jake's bags, then a prep school parents picnic and in good british tradition the heavens opened, never seen so many people move so quickly. Speech Day followed with Jake getting a certificate for outstanding educational achievement (very proud mother couldn't get camera out of bag in time to take photograph).
So this week has been spent washing and ironing, baking (it's like trying to holding back the tide!!) and getting back together as a family.
Craft wise i WILL be making my bag, a quilt for Jake, knitting socks for J and taking photographs whilst in Yorkshire ( be there for a weeks holiday) hoping to schedule in a visit to the Rowan Wool Mill, Harlow Carr and Brimham Rocks for a picnic amongst other things. Back in a week .........
