The longest school holidays of my life are almost at an end. How I would have loved 24 weeks off school when I had to don a school uniform, but the days are closing in and the normality of a weekly routine is on the horizon.

The doors at set to open at our local national school next Thursday and my girls are bursting with excitement to return to an educational system I never really enjoyed. But I suppose when I had summer holidays that’s what they were, not what we have now.
