Summer 2014

Georgie & William were both on the Principal's List at St George's

Summer has begun.

Last week was full of the boys finishing up school and graduation ceremonies. We were literally on our last legs: Lunch boxes were being duck-taped, shoes were being re-glued and William was even stapling his shirt together in the absence of buttons. We wouldn't have managed even another week of school in one piece!

Now it's 2 months holidays for Georgie & William and a whole 6 months for James, as he will not be returning to school here in September before starting boarding school in January.

In August the bakery shop will be closed although I will continue to work at Osiris. We are going to have some family holiday around the islands and go sailing and such-like. At the end of August James is off to stay in Ireland & London for 6 weeks.  October, November and December remain unplanned - so if any one reading this has any good ideas or feels like hosting an engaging 13 year teenage boy in their part of the world for a few weeks, please let me know!

The Secret Project is nearly signed. We even did our first big order for stock today. A little bit exciting, but soon to be mad, no doubt. 

We' are definitely shifting gears this year. This is our fourth summer in the islands and the boys are getting older and are more discerning in their choices and views. I'm conscious that next year things will be very different and that we need to make the most of our time now. 

Here's to happy island days then and Summer 2014.
