Phantom beginnings

Yesterday Ailsa was up at 6 to help feed the goats, back down the cottage for 7 to eat breakfast, back with the goats to help milking, back in the cottage by 8, in her school uniform and off to school at 8:30. What a hard working country lass she's being.

Only trouble is.........

At 9 we got a call from the school asking us what to do because, in fact, school doesn't open for another day. So the poor wee thing trudged home again.

Jussi and I felt guilty about this - but Ailsa was blaming herself because she had Monday 18th marked on her calendar as back to school day. Still we made a celebration of the extra days holiday and what a fine day it turned out to be.
