Recently there have been visits arranged by members of our local HE group to different places of worship. Unfortunately we’ve not been able to make most of them, so i was very pleased when one came up that we cold do, to a synagogue which was not the one the children and I visited last year. Unfortunately we had been told that younger siblings would not be allowed to attend and that the minimum age was seven, which meant that neither A nor S could go in, and therefore I could not either. Since I trust my children to behave without me this was not a problem for them, but it was disappointing for me and means I can’t now tell you what happened there. I might see if I can get the children to blog what they remember though 😉
What was particularly frustrating was that when we dropped the older ones off A, s and I were invited in by the speaker, only to be warned off by the HE organiser in a way which frightened the children enough that they didn’t dare take up the invitation, so we sat in the foyer and played I Spy instead.
Lots ofscootering on the way back to the car and by the time we got there everyone was starving so we grabbed a packet of biscuits to share and made our way back for toast whilst watching Animal Heroes – I was assured it was educational enough to merit watching and actually it was quite good 🙂
Home for music practices and such, while Bob collected J since he was out for a coffee afternoon anyway – sounds very civilised but in fact a group of ex-colleagues meeting fortnightly to see how the job-hunting is going.
