Today we are at the stables where Isabella has her riding lessons. It is the most beautiful day and the sun is shining. We are here for a couple of hours and will then go off for lunch and do our school work. I can't stress enough about the importance of having that time away as a parent. This morning wasn't rushed and we are both feeling very positive about the day.
Most children are either on half term this week or next and I really thought I would notice this term dragging, but when you start to forget about term times, the year becomes one long open time with a huge amount of possibilites.
Isabella won't have a half term as such because we are not exhausted or stressed out from the term. There was an article in the paper this morning about children having holidays that are too long. It stated that the long holidays mean the children go back to school having forgotten everything. The books that I have written would stop this from happening but I also feel the holidays are too long and the children are subjected to too much in too short a time during the term.
