Speech day at a school

Edward  and his classmates were presented with a book and a handshake from the schools principle during a large ceremony called "speech day". This was their first large stage event toward the end of the 1st year in which the whole school attend. Introduced by the schools bagpipes and drums, presentations and awards followed. Actually our little "preppies" all seemed to take it in their stride while proud parents and teachers looked on. Well done son!

Old toys

They maybe times when I'm tempted to pass on old toys especially when it becomes too hard to walk without stepping on them and running the risk of breaking ones neck. But the old favourites still excite so I think that we will be holding onto this one. Edward still loves it, only now his designs are more elaborate.

But it's a good job indoor recreation is happening we have had two days of 35c in the shade! It will only get hotter....
