Big Hugs Goodbye to Dad

I have done all that I came to do.  Hoping he can enjoy life and live it to the full. 



Final Goodbyes

A very hard evening saying goodbye to Louise, Steve and the Girls. We went for a lovely evening at the Rising Sun in Miland. 

The only way to start an emotional evening, a large G&T.























Mya’s Last Day at Liss Infant School


As a special treat Mya was allowed to ring the bell at the start of school. 

Her teacher, Miss Linnard, organised a whole day on New Zealand, especially for Mya. 




Mya sang both the New Zealand National Anthem and a Local Maori song to her class and also took in some bottle brush plants (similar to the Pohutukawa plant) and some kiwi fruit for the class to try. 


They gave her some very special books made by the class with photos and their names and details about all she has done whilst at Liss Infants. Such wonderful memories. 


This is a picture of Mya with friend Bianca. Such a difference in their heights! 


And friend Emily, both dressed up in the classroom photo booth.

Such a wonderful lunch with very special and dearest friends. 





Birthday Assembly

This one Mya was actually one of the birthday group as her birthday’s in August.







Mya told the Assembly all about her favourite book, ‘Making sea animals with craft’




And then described her underwater scene that included, a mermaid, fish, shell and seaweed.
