Today has it's own place in the history of our little family: I made my last journey to school for eight years. When our daughter in law died 8 years ago I took over the delivery and collection of the children - in those days there were many journeys every day as Jamax who was just six had to be delivered each morning and collected at 3.30pm but at the same time
his little sister who was just 4 years had started at nursery which commenced at 10am 'til 2.00pm.
My whole day was spent going backwards and forwards each day. Things changed when Miss Hickett joined the Infant school and could be taken along with Jamax and again much later when Jamax started at High School he used the school bus and I was demoted to just one jouney in the morning with Miss Hickett who walked home with friends each evening. From September they will both be in High school and using the school bus so though there will be no 'school walk'. It will be chaos at home when I have to encourage both of them to get a move on and try to impress upon Miss Hickett that the bus goes at 8.00am whether she is on it or not! Happy days!
