First day at school

Ballet

We've not got a clue where she got the idea from, but the little miss was insistent she wanted to do ballet, so here she is all dressed up in the new ballet outfit - she's already outgrown one and she's only had half a dozen lessons.

Getting ready to start school

For the benefit of our non UK readers, you start school here at the beginning of the academic year in which you turn five, which means Amy starts school next month. How scary. However it does mean 30 hours of free childcare a week!

June 2016

Back in England
