The summer fayre at my son's local primary was both wonderful and a little poignant for me today. My son is leaving the school in a few weeks so there was a sense of time passing -- but it was "good time", a wonderful time in fact. I stopped and talked to lots of parents and pupils, all of whom I didn't know before my child joined the school. And spent quite a bit of money on cakes, and a tin-can walkie-talkie. This is what the good life is about...

Next year it's my granddaughter's turn, and I know that her Mum and I will be wrecks (and Dad and Granddad will probably cough gruffly and pop off to the pub).
Saw you on the national news the other day - you came across really well.
New parents be warned - starting your child at primary school is not anywhere near as traumatic as when they leave it.
For me personally, it's strange that this sunshine should herald the end of an era.
