Finally at 8.25 it was announced on the record list of school closures being read on the radio, that the Infants were shut. And a lean out of the bedroom window conversation with a neighbour told me that so was the Junior school.
The children were beside themselves with excitement - I was beside myself for other reasons. The slope & curve that needs negotiating to get of the close looked like it could be used for dancing on ice training sessions & I was supposed to be at work.
I love my mother-in-law. She caught her bus, then a taxi (because the buses were stuck) and came to my rescue. I was late to work - but better late than never (although the day off might have been nice....)
As for the small people, out came the beach buckets & spades....
Why don't you did away from the already cleared once drive?
Yes that's better....
Teamwork makes the dream work - (very cheesy, very effective, often used saying in our house).
Yes I know you love snow.....& now mummy must scoot off to work.... please be good for Grandma....
I came home to happily tired, pink faced children - who had been good for Grandma.
I'm now fed & watered, and about to catch up on a few very late thankyou's.
I'm going for the line of thinking, that it's the thought that counts - and anyway, I'm sure these lovely cards will make of for their lateyness?!
Love from Lydia xx
