Last week before school starts

  Good Morning well the weather looks lovley here in Wales , let hope it stays that way .  Wishing every mother good luck with getting the final preperations to get your little "darlings" back to school . If any ones child is starting school this September , good luck to mam , the child will be fine Believe  me , i have worked in a nursery many time over the past few years ( No Job at the moment  though , another story ) , and as soon as mam disappears they sush , no crying  honestly ! Of course it is  all new to them and maybe a little daunting , but most children go to some sort  of play group now , they seem to enjoy school loads ! The little boys seem to be the best at making mam feel gulity , the little girls always seemed more grown up about the great adventure of starting " big school " .
        Before you know it they  will be off to secondary school and then more worries appear , oh being a parent , is a never ending worry !!   
    Oh well my little girl is soon starting Juniors , all excitied at the moment , not sure if she will want to go on Friday as well as Thursday though !  All unifrom bought , just need to try it all on , new bag , new pencils etc  , girls seem to love their bags at an very early age .    Good luck at prepering they for school , I have one starting Thursday , another Friday , another  on Monday , the older  ones still not back in Uni !!
          Speak soon and lets enjoy their last 2 days all together !!! before they  will be soon nagging about dare i say it       "christmas" . XXX

GCSE results

            Hope everyone did well in  their Gcse's  results.  Worrying time for them all and even more for the parents i think !
              My daughter did very well , thankfully and all her friends , she managed to pass all  her 11  GCSE's  . well done Emily , now this  is just the  start   , back to do her A levels now .  Great to see that hard work , does pay off , and this  i am sure will boast their confidence  Good luck to everyone and if  your children did not get want they  needed or wanted , please assure them everyone is different and some kids will excel and find their own path  later in life maybe  , look at Simon Cowell , with no formal qualifications ???  Success is not only education but happiness & health  is the best gift in life , i am sure !!    speak soon    Love Helen xx

Beautiful place San Pere Pescador in Spain

  Lovely , lovely place to visit in Spain . Fabulous weather , friendly people , fish , and sand , sea all wonderful .
         Journey was very  , very long , through the tunnel , down all through France , over the Millau Bridge , and then into sunny Spain ( approx 1015 miles later  !!! )  .
       The camp site was brillaint for children , right on the beach , full of dutch and just about 10% were from Britain .
  I would highly recommend this place to people with or without a large family and the spanish were so, so pleasant with us .
    Now , i am in the  middle of very large  mountain of washing , think it is nearly as high at that Millau Bridge , i will up load some photos soon , take care everyone and i will be glad to get back to my crochering as soon as possible .
   Bye for now  love Helen xx
