Not back to (or starting) school

Today was our first meeting of September and we met again at Fyne Court, Broomfield.  It was rather eerily quiet compared to previous weeks.  Partly because it was raining, which probably put visitors off, but mainly because this week was the first week back at school, so the children from the Home Education Group were the only ones there.  Some of us are entering our second (or more) year of home educating, some of us are just starting out with little ones who would have started school this week and some of us have just de-registered our children from school, but we are all looking forward to the 'non-school' year to come.  

At Fyne Court, despite the rain, we still had 4 families meet up, which was a pretty good turn out considering the weather!  We picked, and ate, a lot of blackberries and raspberries, slipped over in the mud (the children, not the adults!), played hide & seek, played giant snakes & ladders (improvising due to lack of a dice), snap and matching pairs.  We even managed to have a (dryish!) picnic.

We're meeting at Fyne Court again next week (13th September) at 10.30am in the car park.  Look forward to seeing you all then.
