We’ve been out campaigning and taking ‘photos for our next Focus leaflet.  Half term is almost over, our home is tidyish, my marking done, case work caught up with and lessons for next week planned (the ironing has been ignored- by everybody as usual).  I’ve spent a few precious days in the garden, catching up on spring-time work in order for my plants to have what they need.  I also finally got round to read Sebastian Fauks’ ‘Human Traces’, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  Still catching up, we finally had our Shrove Tuesday pancakes last night.  Even when life is too hectic and we have to wait a while, it’s a tradition I’ll never miss.  It’s also good to still be able to remember how to make them, without looking at the recipe!
