H is for...Holiday!

That is, we are on one.

For many reasons it is not quite what we were expecting. But anyway, for now HouseofH has been turned upside down (probably that should be "the right way up") and we will be back at the end of June.

Its a bit AWOL-ish but busyness leading up to the trip and then family circumstances during (ie so far, and continuing) mean I haven't had time to post or really the opportunity.

So school is definitely "un" although I have made a mental note of the socialising LittleH#1 was engaging in on Sunday at a totally mad family party (at one point around 30 adults around) and I spotted the person he was talking to happily was a high up eduacation type person (retired but still scary) and I noticed how a child will talk happily and engagingly if they notice that a person is "open" to them. So it seems even high up education bods (or some of them) are happy still to converse with children and make themselves 'available'. Perhaps that means that even some educationalists still have good socialisation skills????! At least it means my children are developing theirs...

Anyway we are in another hemisphere (in more ways than one) and as always joy is mixed with sadness and I could refer to a plethora of scriptures but praying that joy will come in the morning and would appreciate other prayers likewise.
