Nigel says he has always felt comfortable and at home at school as a Helping Hand Volunteer listening to his beloved Year 2 Readers since his very first day . ……..
…… and he has put this down, in part, to the huge plethora of laden baskets of fruit and veg that abound around the school, ready for breaktime.
As you know, we at The Towers have always followed a robust and rigorous 5 a day regime, our own fruit bowl doth constantly overflow, so it’s only natural that said baskets make the school feel like a home from home for the little fella.
However, there have been times when Nigel has admitted to feeling sooooooo at home that he has almost gone to avail himself of the odd banana or tempting satsuma …….
…….. only to remember at the very last moment exactly where he was, should temptation have prevailed, how unprofessional and bad would that have looked …….
…….. an impulsive action that could have possibly lead him to being struck off from the register of helpers, bringing shame to The Towers! So, now Darrell or I always make sure there’s always something in the little fella’s school bag that he can reach for and nibble if ever the urge comes upon him thus upholding our good name ……. what are we like?

Excellent! I would never have thought that fruit is available in school, for the youngsters.
How times have changed. We did get a small bottle of milk, however. Does this still happen, as well?
Is it provided by the education authority, the school, the parents, or some rich mysterious benefactor? If the latter, I hope that Nigel doesn't try to find out who they are.
Oh I would never be able to resist a grape or three. JantheFan x
