We all got up at 8 o'clock ready for the start of a new term and the last one for Emily at Langham Primary school. Of course she was late as usual although she lives less than 5 minutes from school. Thankfully Catherine has changed her ways and is now nearly always on time.
At 10 o'clock after my shower I set off to pick up little Lucy from her mummies. As always I got a lovely smile and a cuddle from Lucy and blanked by her mummy. Shame really we I thought things were improving a little the last few times I have picked up since the last time I commented on it in the blog.
From Lucy's mummies we immediately set off for Oakham park. The weather forecast was set wet for the day and set out to make the most of the day while it was still dry. She had a lovely time at the park and made two new friends. She even managed to get some grapes out of the two friends mummy and said thank you beautifully for everyone.
With a big wave to her friends we set off to the supermarket to get something nice for lunch and the bits we were missing for dinner. We ended up getting eggs to have on toast, a new ball play with a small bag of sweets. She has taken to pushing the trolly round the store and then sitting in when it is time to pay so she can charm the checkout people, who seems to fall for her big blue eyes and cheeky grin. I just love the way she always remembers to say goodbye to them all with a wave.
Lunch was a winner. Lucy loves eggs in all forms. I was a little disturbed by something she said over and over again and I hope a stop has been put to that with a well placed email even if I didn't get a reply.
After Lunch and a quick look at the sky we headed off to Langham park to run around and play. Although there is not so much do there as there is in Oakham she still really loves it. One of the thing I think she likes is that she has the place to herself and what there is there is much bigger.
On the way home we popped into the village church. It might to some seem a strange place to take a little one but we first went there one day when it was raining and she loved it. There are all the prayer cushions to rearrange, space to run and the piano to play. I find it very relaxing there and that is good for both of us. It is so lovely when the sun streams in and the place has this sense of history that out lives us all.
We made sure we back in time for the Emily and Catherine coming home from School. The weather was still fine and rain holding off and we wanted to make sure they didn't miss out on the fun. As soon as they were home I asked them to get changed and off we set for Oakham Park agin for an hour of fun.
Catherine headed off for the swings while Emily joined me and Lucy in the play area. Soon Lucy was pushing Emily around the roundabout as fast as she could and Emily was laughing at the fun. Eventually Emily joined her sister on the swings and they all played happily until it was time to go home when the rain came as promised hours late.
Never takes long to get home from Oakham. Lucy was tired and sat with Emily to watch TV while I made the dinner. It was a simple affair and took less than 10 minutes to cook. Good thing too because it gave them more time to play after dinner than normal after they had eaten.
Home time for Lucy comes too soon for all of us. We all miss her so much when she is not here but come it did. Quickly dressing her in clean clothes, that I had washed that she came in, we head off to drop her back at her mummies. I not sure I will ever get use to dropping her off. I love them all but to take one part of me away still hurts and always will. I just have to keep thinking I will see her soon and they will all be back together.
However, it was a strange end to the day with Lucy. When we got home from the supermarket after dropping Lucy off we had a e-mail saying we had forgotten Lucy's Harold the helicopter. According to her mummy "very upset that she left it" at our house. So not wanted her too disappointed we took it back to her.... I hope she is pleasantly surprised in the morning to have it back to make up for the disappointment of leaving it behind.
Finally, I never did get a reply from the email I sent at lunchtime.... have an idea why. Shame when someone reads what you say wrong all the time.
