Where did the summer holidays go! it is hard to believe we were all having our first morning lie-in of the holidays two months ago and now here we are chasing up where school bags were left at the end of June, buying new school shoes, uniforms, pencils…
The time certainly goes in but we got a lot out of our summer break with barely a day at home, lot’s of days out and about in the countryside, picnics and bbq’s. And no complaints really about the weather for once 
Last week we took the decision, a last minute one really, to enrol our two boys in a new school for this year and fortunately our very local school had vacancies and we filled all the criteria for them being accepted right at the off, which was a huge relief.
So it was new uniforms literally with a couple of days to spare and now school has started – for James at least. They were both to start today but, as luck will always have it, John came down with a temperature and cough yesterday while we were out enjoying our last day of freedom having a picnic on the north Antrim coast. We found a lovely spot outside Bushmills and had the bbq area pretty much all to ourselves for the afternoon. So John was feeling quite poorly by the time we got home and we decided to keep him home this morning, school only was in half day today so he did not miss anything important and he has recovered nicely with a day in bed and is all set to go off to his new school in the morning. That’s the way it is with kids – two months of ripping good health and then sick the day before school starts.
