Halloween Half Term 2021!

It’s felt like a bit of a slog getting through the first half term of school. We started well and towards the end everyone got bugs, was under the weather and with the worry of COVID I’ve been counting down the days to the holidays. It couldn’t have come sooner with the preceeding week seeing us off school for a few days but not able to go anywhere while we awaited PCR results. I had wondered if half term might be an isolation holiday but thankfully we didn’t have to and we’ve been able to get out and about enjoying ourselves albeit very mindfully so. The numbers rocketing have been incredibly worrying and I was glad to have the children home from school just so that I could be in control of who they saw, when and where. It feels precarious again and though we tried to not let that worry take over, it has been there. We still made sure we had fun though. Still tried to not let it take over. Florence broke up 2 days than Jimmy (this is new) and spent a day shopping with Gram and a day of rest (she needed it) was in order before we had the whole gang to play with. I love having them home (when we can go out and have fun – isolation and being couped up is not how any of us wanted to be and I feel so sorry for those who have been) and I hope we made the week as fun as it would be usually! Here’s our best bits!

It wasn’t all easy but we had fun and are looking forward to the next, which will be CHRISTMAS!
