Sweet days of summer…

…the jasmine’s in bloom. It’s a song I love which speaks of July being dressed in a tune. Only this week there was a magical tune audible in our little High Street – it was coming from the “crocodiles” of children walking from the railway station to the beach, with cries of “I can see the sea !!” All the schools have now finished for the holidays and many parents are calling for the holiday to be shortened to four weeks. Now, it’s just my opinion, but I think six weeks is great, although the end of term should be brought forward to early July when the weather is better. Children need time to relax and do nothing. They need to make a tent , read a book, paddle, play with their friends and wonder what to do next (the word ‘bored’ has always been banned in our house) Getting messy in the kitchen is always a treat for little people and I appreciate that child care is an issue for many and that’s where grandparents can help. We made a new video this week which is waiting to be edited, but it’s perfect for little hands. It’s Little Lemon Curd tarts and is perfect for tiny helpers to get involved, so look out – it’s coming soon! 🙂
