… I never seem to get around to updating the chronicles of the Croft family as often as I would like. If there are enough hours in the day, there is nothing to write about and when there is stuff to share there is never time to do it! By the time I get around to it I’ve forgotten what I wanted to say. Argh!!
We are kind of back into a routine (for a week). Matthew is back to school following AS exams, Simon is still away – more on that later. The uncertainty about Martin’s job seems to have receeded for the moment at least and for once I have nothing planned for this evening, hence the time to update. Martin and Matthew have been watching all the Euro 2008 matches on tv. Simon is there! He is traveling in Switzerland with four friends they have been camping in the Fan Camps in Berne, Zurich and Basel so far and travel to Geneva tomorrow before arriving back in the UK late on Thursday. From the occasional text and Facebook update he seems to be having a great time. In the absence of England taking part they having been following the fortunes of Holland as one of their group is Dutch. It seems to have been a good choice so far. Of course when Simon arrives home the routine goes out the window, not just for his arrival but because Matthew heads of to France on a school trip on Sunday. A small group of sixth formers are heading to Valdeblore. It sounds as if they are in for an interesting week in a bit of France that seldom sees foreign visitors.
Before I stop I want to mention a book I’ve just read, it’s called The Shack by William P. Young. It’s an amazing book. I’ll try and update again soon and tell you more about it.
