An Very Emotional Return H0me …….

It goes without saying that Nigel missed the end of term celebrations with his beloved readers due to our rather extended Greek sojourn ……..

……. but when we got home, we found that Tom the Scientist had popped in to drop off some cards and presents for Nigel from the little ones.

This was totally unexpected and naturally the little fella was overwhelmed.

There were heartfelt gifts of sweets, chocolate, two beautiful note books, a “you are a star” candle ………..

……… and a wallet with his name on, full of brand new stickers, because everyone knows they get to choose at least two stickers from Nigel’s sticker box after they have read to him, one for their reading record book and the other to stick on their sweatshirt or cardigan.

It goes without saying that it was quite an emotional homecoming ……

……. and I have to admit that both Darrell and I were a little overcome too, Nigel has really put his heart and soul into his reading, he is a shining example to us, so perhaps, with a little spare time on our hands, we should join him, ….. while in no way wishing to steal any of his thunder, perhaps we could share one or two of the Cook Lady’s wonderous “Roast Thursdays” that he has told us so much about ……..
