Back from Europe

Hi everyone
We have been back a couple of weeks now and time has flown by. I had one week to get organised for the new school year. New uniforms, shoes etc. I have also now been back at work for the last week. It has been absolutely crazy!

I will aim to keep you all updated on a much more regular basis - promise :)

Our holiday was totally fab!!! New Zealand was a bit short but we all had a great time and loved being back. France was lovely and we did and saw amazing things. Belgium went well, we even got into the Netherlands for a day trip. Scott's karting was successful, it could have ended just a little better but the mechanical gremlins weren't behaving. 11th place out of 28. Still a terrific learning experience for Scott and Grant and excellent prep for the worlds in Italy.

Scott did great with his GCSE exam results Science (2 papers), ICT, Business studies and Geography - all A*
English Lit A, English B, French and Math C. He is now looking forward to 2 years of study for his A levels.
Both the boys are back to school tomorrow, we are all on reduced hours because it's Ramadan. Not that you would have known it last week, I was very late home every day.

I will give you more details soon but just wanted to say Hi. I am off to do some errands now, Scott got his new trousers shortened and they sent one pair off that was the wrong size, so they have to go back. I have to collect pants for Jake, hopefully they are right! My stuff is ready from the tailor (I got some super material from Spotlight in NZ). Then need to pick up food for lunches this week. All on the other side of town and it's now 6.30pm.

So for now - Goodbye - I'll back later in the week.

PS Jake has just started his own blog - called I'M ON MY WAY He would love you to check it out.
