School fun!

Saturday was brilliant. May and I travelled over to the Little house on Friday in preparation for Mick's birthday and what will be the only family party of the year. As this was the case, Mum went all out and on Saturday morning we found ourselves in the Littlehouse School of Excellence where we were expected to have completed our homework for assembly at 11am!
The day was planned and executed with aplomb. At one point, mum and Kyleigh changed out of their headmistress and geeky schoolkid outfits to assume the guise of Beryl and Ethel, the rather dim-witted and big-busted west-country dinnerladies. They served us up traditional, slightly overcooked school dinners, you can imagine every mouthful.
After dinner and after the graduation ceremony, the volume knob was turned up to 11 and we were invited to the school disco. Just what you need after several glasses of bubbly! The lights of the assembly hall were swapped for disco lights and we danced and sang along to everything from the fifties to the nineties. From Johnny B. Goode to Saturday Night by Whigfield. We collapsed early which is rare for a family party, maybe we'd worn ourselves out with all that homework!
One one the best, and definitely one for the family album! Good work!
