I didn't tell her I was going to make a cloak (in case it went wrong) but it was worth it to see the look on her face :-) <br />I must admit, I can't entirely blame himself for driving past as I was supposed to be navigating (blush). Still at least we know how to find it now as we're going back on Tuesday - I spoke too soon and tempted fate in my post xxTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-59416423019564726462014-12-06T14:54:53.066+00:002014-12-06T14:54:53.066+00:00I love your positive and humorous attitude to all ...I love your positive and humorous attitude to all these trials and tribulations, Teresa.

Mine has been rather dull this week (lolling about with flu) but that has certainly pumped some life back into my aching bones. Thank you. I remember those themed school days well. Especially a Victorian Day. My 20 little cherubs came into the classroom all excited and dressed beautifully. And then they saw me - the mean Victorian School Mistress. Uh-oh. I think I went a bit overboard. Just my look scared them. Poor little things. I promptly took my hair down from its strained bun and threw them all one of my loving smiles. I didn't get to act out my role to the full, but it was a fabulous day enjoyed by all. I hope your granddaughter had fun. Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674648154579013578noreply@blogger.com
