New school year, new rules

We seem to have come to an agreement whereby I will walk with my daughter to school each morning. Benefits: I can make sure she goes to school with everything she needs and not have to be rushing in later with forgotten books, PE kit, etc. It also encourages me to walk 10 mins further to my office instead of working from home. I seem to remember the exact same arrangement being rejected out of hand when I suggested it two years ago, but hey ho 🙂

Mind you, this is for morning walks only. I am still strictly forbidden from waiting at the school gate in the afternoon, or walking back home with her after Dance Club (unless none of her friends are around).

Our morning walk lasts 15 mins and involves holding hands all the way and talking about whatever random topic has entered her mind overnight. At the school gate I get a nice big hug to send me on my way ☺ Not many mums of 15 year olds are so lucky. I guess the after school rule is so I don't make anyone else jealous 🤗
