<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the midnight service - we all fell into bed with promises that NO-ONE was to get up until 8am!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Not having littlies at home can be a very good thing)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a sedate present opening time -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ben then set up his own Nintendo Switch and Megs went back to bed!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;">We had to get to Church earlier than usual as I was leading the worship with Linda -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;">the service went so well - the atmosphere was amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;">I took a photo of the congregation that we shared on Facebook -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;">then afterwards there was the usual present opening time and we took some family selfies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;">Lunch was a quiet affair with Gma and Gpa - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;">and the rest of the day was napping, watching the queen and Dr Who on TV and playing card games.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;">Pretty perfect as Christmas Days go :)</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christmas Eve fell on a Sunday - so extra Church in the morning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I sang in the choir as we performed "All is Well" in the 10.30 service - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then at 4pm Linda and I led the Christingle service.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a quiet evening we were all back at Church again for an agape feast at midnight - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yea Lord we greet thee!</span></div>

Knowing that Christmas Eve was going to be very busy at Church</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we celebrated my 47th birthday a day early - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a trip to Llandudno (our favourite place) -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for our favourite treats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last minute Christmas shopping at Waterstones -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fish and chips (fish and salad for me) at Tribells -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crepes, sundaes and a banana split at Looking Glass -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a walk along the sea front in the sunshine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heavenly!</div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first day of the Christmas Holidays <br />(for me at least - Megs has been home since Saturday -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Ben did his last afternoon in college on Monday and Al is still in work today)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the morning I met Jude for a coffee and a walk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the afternoon we made the Christingles for Christmas Eve </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the evening was a wonderfully, blessed time at New Song Café.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
While Ben is away adventuring in Switzerland with Aquila Explorers -</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
(today he was in the snow and inside a glacier at Jungfraujoch) - </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
I got to pick up his GCSE results.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
I am so proud of him -</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
7 (A) for Maths ,3's (D's) for English Lit and Lang, B for Science, D for Humanities, Merits for PE and iMedia and a pass for ICT !</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
When I think back to all the years of battling to get him the correct diagnosis and support - </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
when I remember all the worries and traumas of Nursery and Primary School -</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
today the high school Senco recalled reading Ben's statement when she first met him - </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
and her concern about how the school would meet his needs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Then she said "He did it all himself"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
And then I cried -</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Because he really is a wonderful young man</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sadly the 3's in English proved to be a barrier to starting a Level 3 course in ICT -</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> but after a day of battling at the Sixth Form College, and a bit of a strategic maneuvering on my part </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ben will be starting a Level 2 course in Engineering, which I think he will really enjoy - </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">plus there is a bonus that one of the lecturers is a family friend.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Plus we now have an agreement that he can move to a Level 3 course next September, even if he still hasn't got a 4 in English after retaking it. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm calling that a win for us.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ben is back on Saturday - </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">but I've already had a text conversation with him - </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and he is happy about the course - if not about having to retake English.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Roll on September - and new opportunities.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

With Ben still off at KISC Megs and I had a day trip to Stratford to see my lovely friend Clare, my Goddaughter Emma and Clare's mum Gill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a wonderful day of strolls, lunch, coffee and cakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the evening Megs and I saw Titus Andronicus at the RSC -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
£10 teacher tickets for great seats :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The play was very dark - but also very funny - a clever trick to pull off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BUT - this was the first of hopefully many trips to visit </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jonathan, Karen and Katherine in their new home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Katherine showed us around their house -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">then we had the most amazing brunch at </span><a href="http://www.snootyfrox.co.uk/the-wild-plum/" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Wild Plum</a> -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">{I had courgette bread, poached egg, haloumi and avocado!}</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">followed by a walk into town, round the shops and parks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tea was another trip in to town for pasta and pizza at Ask Italian -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">then we drove back over the Pennines home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We dropped Ben at Liverpool Airport at 8am -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">he met up with the rest of the Aquila Explorers -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ready to head off to the International Scout Centre at Kandersteg in Switzerland (KISC) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He is away for a week - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and with the usual support from the fantastic leaders </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(many of whom have known Ben since he was a tiny Beaver Scout - or earlier!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm sure he will have a fantastic time!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday night - the boys settled down in the hotel</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Premier Inn County Hall)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Megs and I walked over to the Young Vic to watch the revival of Yerma</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year Billy Piper won an Olivier Award for this-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So when we discovered that it was back whilst we were in town -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that preview tickets were only £20 -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were in!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the prospect of seeing her original acting idol wasn't enough for Megs -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">as we were walking in she looked up at a tall chap in a baseball hat and discovered it was the one and only Tom Hiddleston!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She smiled. He smiled. He said "Hello" She said "Hello" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a special moment!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course - <a href="http://atpolsplace.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/meeting-tom-hiddleston.html">I have previous with Mr Hiddleston and theatre -</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://atpolsplace.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/meeting-tom-hiddleston.html">we saw Macbeth at MIF13 in his company</a> -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and so I know what being in the presence of a Norse god will do to a girl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were both giddy - and when he came to sit right in front of us -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hat still on, slumped in his seat - unrecognized by the people next to him -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we were in seventh heaven.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But back to the play.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Very very funny - right up to the point that it wasn't funny - but heartbreaking -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and ultimately devastating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The transverse staging was amazing -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the sets and changes in utter black out stunning -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the music and lighting both electrifying.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And Billie Piper?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Funny and beautiful and sexy (that smile!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the most real performance I have ever seen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She broke us into pieces - just as she did to Megs long ago when playing Rose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the curtain calls (and I've never been so quick onto my feet)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we sat - too stunned to leave the theatre.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We watched Mr Hiddleston leave</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(the ushers were in the know - and were equally starstruck)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and then high on the performance -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we laughed and giggled and made our way back to the hotel along the South Bank -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in love with the city and the theatre and life.</span></div>

First stop on our London weekend -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Natural History Museum to see the Blue Whale - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(the replacement for the beloved diplodicus)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was certainly very impressive - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so there are a LOT of photos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(a bit of a theme this weekend)</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last week of term at school- </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We should have been winding down, tidying up, enjoying the last few days with this cohort.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But instead -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got the call!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ofsted arrived on the Tuesday - and stayed for the Wednesday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official judgements won't be public until September</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I can say that the HMI did comment to our headteacher that</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The EYFS department is really jolly good"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the Ofsted Inspector who observed in Pre-school told me that she would be happy to send her Grandson to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So - with the endless help and support of Tracy and Sinead -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We smashed it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Megan asked if we could see the filmed Caesar - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">directed at the Donmar a couple of years ago by Phyllida Lloyd -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with the divine Harriet Walter as Brutus -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and a all female cast.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was quite a rush to get to the cinema at FACT after a parents evening -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but we just made it in time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was quite brilliant - set in a prison - a play within a play with prison life breaking through.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quite marvellous.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Had the loveliest day yesterday in London.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The sun shone as we sat outside Kings Cross whilst Megs refueled after her all night rave -</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> we walked down to Leicester Square and ate outside at Steak & Co -</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> we sat in the National Gallery whilst Megs had a quick nap </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">and had great theatre afternoon. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">David Tennant as wonderful as usual in the very rude and very funny Don Juan of Soho. In the interval Catherine Tate walked past and rendered Megs speechless. At the end David gave a speech about London and the terrorist attacks before the cast collected for the red cross appeals. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Then it was coffee at Foyles and a walk back to the stations. Pretty perfect. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Megs celebrated with friends during the day-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But in the evening we had a great theatre night seeing La cage Aux Folles at the Empire</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just what we expected - camp and simply fabulous - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a story about drag and family and most of all love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And a performance of "I am what I am" from John Partridge that had us all on our feet at the interval - that's a first!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We drove over to Sheffield to move Megs out of her Endcliffe Flat</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And into her new house - she is in the attic - lots of steep stairs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Afterwards we had tea at the infamous Wetherspoons - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Spoons Tuesdays" has been a feature of her first year at Uni -</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Goodbye Endcliffe and Froggatt G3!</span></div>
