End of an Era

Today is Little Fink's last day at Primary School. Some children take chocolates or flowers as a present for the teacher on the last day of term - Little Fink bakes a batch of chocolate brownies for the class.
I can't believe how quickly these years at primary school have gone by. It doesn't seem that long ago when she couldn't do up her shoe laces (she still doesn't do them up even now, but that's not because she doesn't know how!) We are all looking forward to the next adventure of secondary school and all that goes along with it.

Busy times ahead, I'm off out to see a former school pal's band play tonight (Waiting For Katherine - you guys ROCK!), mudlarking at the Tower of London on Sunday (only allowed on that beach once a year), my surrogate son, J1 is coming to stay for a couple of days then Little Fink is off to Denmark with the Scouts for 10 days. http://www.naesbycentret.dk/frontpage.aspx The itinerary is immense...viking longboat racing, night hike and sleeping out in bivvies in the Danish countryside, trip to Copenhagen where they buy their own train ticket, lunch and see the sights, trip to Sweden to join the Jamboree and off to a Danish theme park. Phew.
