Last year in March I decided to do a Lockdown Diary, these were weekly but with the return to a bit more normality, kids back to school everything starting to open, I moved it to Monthly, and with us still, in and out of Lockdown each month was continuing through our journeys. It was September! Kids returned to school, a mini holiday, a Birthday and an anniversary, an action-packed month.

We were now in August 2021 it’s Summertime! School holidays are here and the kids are off but how were we going to get on?
Roo being the eldest has been at school for what seems an age now, but as she returns to school this year the realization of the final countdown has begun, she now is in her most crucial time with the work towards her GCSE’s and beyond begins.

If you have ever been on the school run you will notice a sea of Wheels with some hardcore speed demons, these are the kids flying around and demanding to ride their scooters every day.
