Back to School

Not me, I hasten to add... All that kind of thing thankfully came to an end in my former life....

But here in Scotland, the Autumn term started today - at least a couple of weeks before English and Welsh  schools get their pupils back behind the desks.

All it means to us, now, is that we have to remember to listen out for the school bus in the mornings as we walk Cupar. In the mornings, we walk up a local township road, and generally see just the same one or two cars every day, but the bus is big - a full-size single-decker - so it is best to be aware of its approach, and find a good place to pause for it to pass and give a wave to the driver.

Most Texas schools start up in the next week or two, but some local parochial schools went back to class this week. Other states, like Michigan, don't start their new school year until the first week of September -- after Labor Day here in the States. (That, by the way, was the tradition back when I was a schoolgirl.)
