Today was the annual school fete and top of Poppy’s to-do list was getting her face painted and buying some candy floss… both of which involved covering her face.

I know she was only 3 yesterday, but here in Welshlandplace Poppy can start school the day after her 3rd birthday. Okay so technically it is only nursery and she will only be going in for the afternoon each day until next school year, but it’s still school and she has to wear uniform. I’m told she didn’t cry until her mummy came back to pick her up at the end of the day.
