Yes, the fateful day has been and gone already. On September 8th 2008, my eldest daughter started school. I would like to say that there were tears of joy in my eyes as we (yes, I was there as well) left her sat with her new school chums, and that we were genuinely touched by her lack of tears and stalwart attitude. Sadly however, this moving moment never came to pass as a rugby scrum of about 15 parents jammed the door to the classroom taking 4000 digital camera shots through the wire-glass window. Oh well.
Truth to tell, any sentimental value in the moment is also diminished by the fact that these days you have to buy your kids the entire 1979 Action Man outfit catalogue before they start. Scuba diving gear is a real swine to locate, but the jungle warfare kit was quite easy to find.
I may exaggerate, but not by much.
