Today was a really lovely day.  It was the first time since our gorgeous little boy arrived nearly 8 months ago, that James and I have spent proper time on our own.  It is the only time that we have both been off work and been Mr Snuffles-less. Sam went to Grandma’s and, as always, had a great time, whilst we went out for lunch, mooched around the shops and had coffee.  Once I got over the feeling that I must be a horrible mother by enjoying a few hours without Sam, I relaxed and remembered that as well as being a mummy and a headteacher, I am also a wife.  And I have a husband.  And we chatted about things other than Sam.  Most importantly, though, the time we did have back together as the Three Musketeers at the end of the day, was perfect.   Lovely day complete.
