Easter Bonnets

Reports were circulating that parents were meeting secretly under the cover of darkness late one evening in February.

We sent our special investigations editor Oliver Archer and undercover reporter Michael (you-don’t-know-me) Redmond to find out more…..

Yes it’s all true! Parents are going out after bedtime and meeting at the Nursery to do you’ll never guess what….draw pictures and make things out of egg cartons and glue!

“It was quite incredible!”, writes Michael. “There they were, in our rooms with the teachers trying to do what we do every day of the week.”

“It was funny really” Oliver added,” some of them could not even manage to stick the glitter on!”

In March we were given a box of tiny saplings containing a selection of indigenous species such as Birch, Rowan and Wild Cherry. The children from Badgers Bank helped to plant out the tiny trees to make a copse.  Perhaps in 20 years time they will come back and see how big their trees have grown.

Just hold the line a moment we are having a dolly hard time here”

Poor Chef, never gets a moment's respite.

Sometimes she just cannot cope on her own.
