I was so happy not to be doing the school run this morning. It was one of those English winter mornings when the sun doesn’t seem to come up til mid-morning, by which time it had rained so hard and for so long that our front drive looked more like a lake. Instead of battling through the Monday morning rushhour traffic and trudging through puddles to school, we enjoyed being cosy and warm inside, eating toast and playing times tables games, until the rain eased off just in time to go to our London home education group -admiring the glorious, rain-washed green landscape as we travelled.
