I think this only applies to local schools?

If the roads stay quiet until the end of September that's great news.

well, then let your husband entertain his kids inside for 3 extra weeks, you go off where ever, problem solved...
and besides...we're all going to die someday...and there will always be new discoveries made about things that are bad for you...mabye in 10 years time they will find that sunscreen is in fact the most healty thing on earth, they will even encourage you to drink a bottle a day to stay fit...
you cannot let you life be ruled by these sort of things...

haha - it would be impossible to get his bum of his computer chair - I think he's fused to it..............

Seriously, we're here for two years only and during that time he needs to get his business fully operational and then we're out of here and back to normal life - one year down, one to go. So we'll just put up with it this summer and try to stay sane.

oh it will be updated I am sure...schools are closed for students but that doesn't mean the staff has left as well...and updating a website is easily done.
