A couple of weeks ago, toil and trouble came to Basingstoke. Mom arrived from the States. The girls were still in school when they arrived, so Kyla and I drove into Heathrow to pick up her and my Aunt Donna. This was the farthest into London that I’d driven, but it was a surprisingly easy drive.

That night, and the next, Lizzy starred in a production of “Shakespeare Rocks” with the rest of Year 6. She played the part of “girl pretending to be a boy pretending to be a girl”. She rocked it and got one of the biggest laughs of the night with one line.

It was honestly a very well done production. The kids had their lines down, the delivery was spot on, everyone had a good time.
