Within the first hour of waking up really late yesterday, not only had Robb missed the school bus and the first day back after half term but I somehow managed to trap my arm in my car door and then had to rescue Alf from his school bus as he was inconsolable…and then I went and reversed into another car.

So believe you me when I tell you that I was glad to see shiny and happy things like these leaves above on my lunchtime walk…
