Gosh, I’d better write something fresh then – it has been a while! I kind of hope our daughters are, by sheer coincidence, in the same class – I hate to think of more than one such sad occurrence. DM me on twitter if you like.

Also saw your tweet re classmate of your daughter whose Mum died during holidays. Our 12 yo daughter had the same thing happen to a friend in her class over the holidays. Coincidence?
