We(my daughter, Miss Bossy drawers and me) saw the lad off to school this morning and then gleefully, we skipped off to Preston on the bus. Miss Bossy drawers has had a yen for going on a bus....never having been on one before.

She was taunting her brother last night with the strains of 'We're going on a bus and YOU aren't'....and kept on repeating this refrain....much to her brothers annoyance.
He was dischuffed to think that we could contemplate going on a day out, and leaving him behind.
This morning though, he was more interested in going to school......and went in the rain....fleet of foot.

We waited for the 9.50 bus...having missed the earlier one. I thought it would be full, but it wasn't.
