Alexander set off for camp at Normanville with his school this morning.
It is the first time that my boy is away from home, the first time my boy is sleeping anywhere other than his own bed.
In the morning, I wondered if he struggled with his two heavy camp bags on his own. Eating my lunch in the office, I thought about him. Was he eating the kabana omelette I prepared for his packed lunch?
He is not naturally athletic. Is he enjoying the dune environment walk by the sea and the beach sports?
The menu had lasagne and pasta bakes on the menu for dinner today. Our Garfield will like that very much. Christopher went to camp last year and said the best thing was the dessert! No doubt he will love the jelly and custard tonight. I hope his Bunnykins dinner plate did not make him look too silly.
Alexander is a quiet boy, yet there is an unnatural hush and gloom at home without him.

Coming by to help you ‘house-warming’.
And awwww….the feelings we had when our child ‘go out on his own’ is hard to describe, ya? Worries coupled with a sense of achievement that he is independent now.
