Granddaughter went on first school trip, away from home for 4 days. Due back at 2.30 pm. Hope she had a good time although was a bit nervous about leaving home, only child, and she was a premature baby and mother had here after miscarriage and later in life a bit worried about her. Will be pleased to see her home, but the school are very good. Don't allowed contact with the contact but school posts messages about what they are doing. She is 11 and first time away apart from staying with Nanny (me). They have gone to Gaveston Hall in Sussex and looking it up on the internet looks brilliant. Abit worried that it may have been too hot, but are quite excited and will hear all about it soon. Secondary school in September is the next thing. Message from school all the children were OK and the teacher (Australian young man) was behaving himself. ;D ;D Nanny must not worry, never worried about mine, was just glad to get some peace and quiet, but Nannies worry more. For a lot of the children it was the first time ago and all the mothers were a bit worried, but the children seemed to be OK and very, very excited.
