Love all things primary education, reading, nature and cocker spaniels.
AHT, entering my 29th year in education.
Been really busy preparing my Dad’s house for sale. Today I bagged up his clothes and took them to the charity shop. Tough is an understatement.

Tough morning for one little lad yesterday so I spent the afternoon completing a jigsaw puzzle with him to help him regulate. It was the first time he had ever done a jigsaw. Squeals of delight when he found a piece that fitted. Simplicity can be the key to capturing calm.

Youngest girl went into town with £10 for a drink and a snack because she had managed to endure 2 weeks of GCSE mocks. Came back with a Spider-Man onesie from Poundland and the biggest smile. Whatever floats your boat I suppose!

“Mum can I get a tattoo?”
Breathes deeply. “You are 18, so officially an adult and so can make your own choices.” Breathes deeply again.
“Just not on your face!”
God it’s hard letting go isn’t it?
