    been asked to knit another poppy now someones seen the caretakers - apparently it was knitted by "the nice dinnerlady with blonde hair" cos she didnt know my name. how i got tracked down so quickly by that description i dont know, half the team are blonde (and mines only to hide the grey:o)

    it'll be that bit;)

    wow....

    what a day...

    took reception (all 26 of 'em) over to the centre for PE - some plank had left a gas burner, in the kitchen, on but unlit so gas was escaping....

    Luckily I didn't blow us all to the great reception in the sky when I switched THE LIGHTS ON:eek:

    I am BUSHED

    and I lost Y4's register AGAIN

    oops

    'tis wine o'clock!

    Lynne Beautiful image, thank you for sharing. I noticed huge moon here yesterday and this evening, here just over rooftops, and surrounded by haze of white misty cloud.
