DS2 was on an activity holiday with the school in Norfolk recently (not the same centre), so it really brings it home to me. There but for the grace of God and all that.

Poor family. Hope the other children recover fully.

ds went on such a holiday aged 10 in march this year.
i'm going to block out this story, and just not think about it at all.

Yes, the BBC article says just a tragic accident. And the boy's grandfather is saying it too, and saying he hopes other children aren't prevented from going on school trips as a result. So sad
