The first day back to school after the summer holidays takes always some getting used to. Good to see all your friends again but getting up early? : ( You have to concentrate in class and sit still. When school is out it is still warm and sunny, such a pity you had to sit in school cooped up inside all day. To soften all that suffering we bake a treat, we have tea with Unicorn cupcakes in the garden, yeahhh!
