End of the summer
My boys went back to school today. It was a shock to the system as we all had to get up earlier.
But they managed it and seemed to have a good day. My eldest son sat his first set of exams last term. He did very well- he took 8 subjects and got 1's in all of them. A 1 is the top mark so I feel really proud of him. This year he does 5 subjects and does them do a higher level. So it is going to be hard work. He only has 2 more years at school- this one and next year then may be off to University. It is his life I dont want to plan it for him, but you want them to do well.
It seems amazing he only has 2 more years at school. When he was a screaming baby and people said it will seem like no time before they are off to school......I wa sthinking I wish he was there now...........but now..........where has my baby gone....???
This a blog of random thoughts. Yes I know I am tired......
I was just thinking about how lucky I have been these last couple of days.
A sparrow hawk came into the garden yesterday ( a smallish bird of prey). It was so exciting to see it- not so good for the little song bird he manged to swoop on. I suppose he has to live somehow. Coming home on the bus today I saw a red deer hind with her young calf in a field near home. It was very unusual to see them mid afternoon, but a pleasure for me.
It is all peace and quite here at the moment: my eldest son is at a concert, my youngest is at football training, hubby is in London. So I can do what I want for an hour.
I was thinking of getting a cup of tea and reading my book- goodness I think I need to live a little. Oh well maybe another day !!
