The day finally arrives! - First day at Windlesham House - Sunday 7th September

Whilst I pushed the suitcases in, Jimmy finally managed to close the boot! Bags encroached onto Charlotte space on the back seat! We waved good bye to Sheila, Bob and Jake and started on the next stage of our lives.

4pm - We were met with a hive of activity at the school.  After checking in with Admin (and finally putting some faces to names) Charlotte and I headed to her new dorm "Lime" with 2 of her "hosts" who were soon helping her unpack everything and put up her photos.  Charlotte was very happy as she had a bed by the wall with a big pin board.

Then on to the Headmasters welcome address.  5 minutes to say goodbye and then Charlotte was whisked away by her new friends for games on the lawn and a BBQ.  We meanwhile then met the House Parents and finished off all the admin with the travel and Medical teams.  And that was it!  By 5.30pm we were heading out of the school and off to our hotel.  We could see Charlotte from afar playing with all the other girls on the field - but she didn't see us (too busy having fun!)

Dinner out for 2 that night seemed strange!
