Went to see Pops new room yesterday, it's fab! Beautiful day bed, lovely lilac walls, elephants everywhere. Not real ones obviously, pictures, cushions, curtains with elephants on, bedding with elephants on! Safe to say she's gone mad on elephants!
Poppy has lots of homework on Friday, consequence of going up into year four and getting older I suppose, though a shame to get so much homework at the age of eight. Surely at eight children should still be able to enjoy free time and play with toys or friends, or both obviously! Plenty time for homework once they hit eleven, and then they become too pressured, pushed to do well. Schools under pressure by the government, policies, targets, Ofsted in turn out kids under pressure, too much pressure. What possible need is there for sats? Never had sats in my day far as I know!
And then there is the floss. For those unaware it's a dance, one i cannot master however hard i try, my hips, arms and legs just won't move correctly no matter how I try! Kids are brilliant at it though, Poppy is great at the floss. Floss is great at the floss. Confused? Don't be, Floss is not only a dance, it's the name of a cousin of Poppy, short for Florence.

8, but going on 18!
You may be surprised to hear that Poppy is now 8 years old!
I am sorry it has been so long to update The chronicles but I have had all sorts of problems going on in the past couple of years of so, the main one being that I broke my right arm at the elbow joint in two places and neither break has healed! At the beginning the fracture clinic only detected one break so they did not set correctly and have not aligned, leaving me in constant pain and with the prospect of either an operation to fix it which would restrict my movement or leave it as it is and live in pain!
Anyway enough about me, you want to hear about Poppy. She is such a beautiful, kind and caring girl who is so funny she makes you laugh aloud. She brightens the room just by walking through the door, as does her mum.
She goes into year four next week at school and we cannot believe where the time has gone!
Poppy has two new cousins, two fab little boys, and she has been wonderful since they came into our family. She even changed her first nappy yesterday! I would have loved to have seen that!
She goes to Brownies, still loves to craft with her grandma, we are painting stones at the moment and hiding them around the village for others to find and rehide, our venture is a great success and lots of people are joining in, kids have emerged from behind ipads and game consoles to go hunting rocks instead and get some fresh air and exercise! She has taken up the ukelele at school, is getting good at swimming, loves to make slime and has technology down to a 'T', telling grandad not to do it like that!
Poppy is a young lady to be proud of, she's just helped her mum paint the walls of her bedroom and did a great job too, she is so beautiful and we could not be more proud.
Love you Pops xxx
