Strike and our country retreat

We have an amazing NHS and so I tooted my car horn to show solidarity with the Junior doctors on strike. Of course it's a risky thing to go out on strike when you are dealing with people's health.

If as we are told most schools are good or outstanding and that's happened under LEA control why waste money on academies ? 


Clearly time to get away so a night away to our country retreat . That's our middle daughter home. Greated by Meg who appeared to recognise me! Or was it just she wanted her food bowl filling ? Is this not the man who came to look after us ? Perhaps he will give me food if I look welcoming ?
