thanks OJ - seeing him in his new uniform this morning, proud as punch, made the money I'd forked out on the logoed stuff all worth it

I will put the photo in the special Steve box that a very kind MN sent us, I tell the kids that they can put stuff in there to let steve know we are thinking of him.
I don't know who put the empty chocolate wrapper in there.

I did cry all the way home. But then I did cry when they all started school but so did Steve, not that the kids noticed they just got on the bus and never even looked at us once.
