Yesterday afternoon I drove to Newbury to meet Rachel from her train out of Paddington. It's probably forty years since I last came to this town. It's now so busy and congested. Finding the railway station was a challenge. I arrived on time, however, and we went from there to neighbouring Thatcham to collect Jasmine from her Dad and other grandparents for the journey to Wales. The drive back in the dark was uneventful but very tiring, and Clare had an evening meal waiting for us, complete with Advent candles and calendar window openings (we have two - one from Fuengirola and one Jasmine brought with her). Owain came to join us for this first part of the family reunion.
Today, Jasmine went into the Steiner school to have lunch with the children there and join in class activities for the afternoon session. As she goes to a Steiner school in Arizona, attending classes in Grandma's school for the few days while she's here is a welcome and a beneficial experience. After all, when Grandma went to Arizona, she went to Jasmine's school and told a story there at circle time. World citizenship training starts as young as you like these days.
