Lovely thoughtful gifts for the teachers, and isn't Bunny a clever girl with the pretty patchwork bags - taking after her talented Mum of course. Delicious looking cookies too and I bet they were very much appreciated - even before they left the house!!! I think the champagne and cheese tasting later on was a very good idea and I reckon you Mum's deserved it :) Enjoy the holidays lovely, sending love, Joy xoJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753693250341975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190651767605093454.post-39983700460902349482014-07-23T10:09:56.476+01:002014-07-23T10:09:56.476+01:00So as one chapter of each of your girls lives will...So as one chapter of each of your girls lives will close yet more exciting ones are about to open. It's a very emotional time isn't it with all these changes. I think us mum's suffer more than the children do. My son moves school this year and I know his dad and I are far more anxious than he is. <br /><br />Your baking as always looks yummy but the biggest praise has to go to Bunny for those fantastic bags I couldn't make something like that now in my 50's never mind at 11 who knows the skills that are going to continue to develop but obviously she takes after her very talented mum...<br /><br />Mitzi Lazy Days & Sundayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981937294479619947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190651767605093454.post-9451871423152255432014-07-23T08:05:24.521+01:002014-07-23T08:05:24.521+01:00A lovely post.
