Big Deal

Today Sam started college, Ben started his GCSE courses and James started his A level course at a different college.

It's a significant year for us all.

The early morning start was misty and a bit grim - and apparently the traditional off-to-school photo outside the front door was far FAR too embarrassing to complete as people-Ben-knows were walking past.

I did an indoors one for the record - but it's difficult to believe how much Ben has grown in that time & really will Sam grow that much in 4 years?

This is Sam coming home from school on his first day - with his friends in the background no doubt agreeing with him, how very embarrassing I am taking photos :-)
