Now for the fun to start 🎈
Two sets of parents don't cross with me, but further up the road into moving traffic they went!
There is too much jay-walking into traffic.
Someone got half across the road, until I got him over safely the other half!
Some cars were stopping in the Keep Clear space, so I had to walk around the cars to cross the kids over the road!
I'm glad I finished in one piece!
Back home.
Wrote yesterday's blog post, while keeping a eye on the tea....
Gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋💋💋 when he came home from work.
Tea is served!
