Have enrolled Finlay into 'Sports Nippers' at the local recreation centre, part of the high school. He has 1.5 hours (non parent participating) (phew !!) of circuit type training and improving hand eye co-ordination and learning different ball skills, as well as interacting with about 20 other children - he enjoyed this 1st week.

weather seems to be improving, no recent storms or floods, just clear blue skies most days - but the minute the sun sets about 5.30 pm it gets very cold very quickly, about 5 - 10 degrees although we hav noticed it is getting darker slightly later, well the shortest day was a few weeks ago now
