As you may know, Ellie started school here in September.  However, she'd missed so much of the year that we decided to restart her again this year to get the full year and the best start to hre education.  Her school now has 2500 kids, so you can imagine the congestion getting them all in there on the first day of term.  It was a nightmare.  Thankfully, my Dad stayed in thw car so I didn't have to get it parked and Ellie was a star going into her new class.  When we picked her up at the end of the day she told us it had been "cool".
