Dreamcatcher

Here's Chris with his own dreamcatcher. I've had to educate myself about them, and have discovered that good dreams go through the middle hole in the catcher while the bad dreams get caught in the web and perish in the dawn. On a more prosaic note, Chris is the first U-Too dad who, along with his partner Laura, has been taking the Level 2 Parents With Prospects course. He and Laura have both completed the first two units of the course and have nearly finished Unit 3. Great stuff!

Birthday boy

I just happened to be visiting Will, Rorie and Connor yesterday on Connor's first birthday. so a photo was clearly needed for the family album. Connor had a minor operation recently at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol. He seems none the worse for it.

End of an era

Carolyn and I have decided to retire because we're rather ancient. We wanted to find a way of seeing U-Too's work continue and were pleased that a charity, Learning Curve, based in Melksham, was prepared to take over our work. The takeover took place recently and we've been helping with the transition. You can find out more by pasting this link into your browser:

Den is planning a farewell event at the Platform in Swindon on Saturday 31 July between 2pm and 4pm. We're going to be allowed to use the railway carriage! Invites will be sent out this week and we hope that most of the dads will be able to attend as it may be the last time we can all get together.

And one more

Congratulations to Dave and Hannah on the recent arrival of Layton.
