The Grains of Time

are flowing through my fingers.

Eloise and Nicole went on Friday to the costume shop, erm school uniform shop.

They came back with a list of items which Eloise can recite but which I cannot recall, owing to the fact that I was quite blown away to see her drowned in her school dress and hat.

The dress was worn to nursery. The hat was worn to nursery. The hat has been worn ever since. It is a symbol of her ascendancy to the next stage of achievement. She is very proud indeed, and very excited about going to school.

She is ready. As we keep saying though, is school ready for her?
