School

My almost three year old started school today. She cried her eyes out when I dropped her. It took 40 years of experience to prevent myself doing the same. When I went to pick her up at lunchtime she was having a great time. The fickleness of youth! I was at Boarding school for ten years from the age of eight and I remember crying after my parents dropped me for the first time - Sompting Abbotts School near Worthing if anyone is interested. Only half an hour later I wondered why I had cried and was eating a vast meal and mucking about with new friends. I must confess that while I absolutely loved being at school I couldn't contemplate sending my children away as boarders.
