Bush Removal

We had a bush in the garden that we pruned back hard when we first moved in and it has grown but wasn't looking it's best and seemed to be taking over the flower bed, so I mentioned to John that we ought to take it out.  In the next breath he was hacking away at it until it was completely gone. 


A great big gap in the flowerbed now but looking much better.

Green Flag Award


 The school is very proud to have received our Eco-Schools Green Flag Award with Distinction for the 5th year running! 

This year they have been focused on healthy living, biodiversity, and improving our school grounds.

The students have made a real difference not just within tbe school, but in the wider community too. From enhancing the outdoor spaces to taking part in local litter picks in parks and surrounding areas, their efforts have had a lasting impact.

Last Day of School for Lucy

It’s hard to believe that Lucy has got to her last day of school. Jo has so kindly taken Mya to school each morning for the last 2 1/2 years but from tomorrow it’s down to us to get her there on time. 

The girls are both growing up so fast.

Last Show with Arabesque ‘Dont Stop Me Now’

After 3 years of Saturday Stage School, Mya has come to an end of her journey with Arabesque. Today’s final show was held at the Windmill theatre in Littlehampton. 

  

So proud of Mya with all the different parts she played in the show. She just shines on stage. 

This is her costume for playing Commander Khoshaggi in We Will Rock You!   
The theatre was full for this final show. 


A lovely head-shot photo of our beautiful daughter, moving on to other exciting things in her life.

Wheelie Bin Adaption

After 2 months of waiting for the council to collect our old bin, we’ve given up and decided to adapt it into a water butt. 



Hedge


The hedge at the bottom of the garden is thickening up nicely. I’ve trimmed it today to tidy it up. I also got the strimmer out and chopped down the grass next to it. Looking much clearer.

Family Day at Gunwharf

Before life gets too back to normal, end of half term, we decided to go to Gunwharf to see the new Michael Jackson film in the comfortable seats of Vue Cinema.  A great film. 


Then lunch at our favourite, Wagamamas!
