The Trip That Never Was!

Well, it's been an eventful day. Just not quite the day we had planned. Unfortunately, a tyre blew out on the journey to the National Space Centre, meaning we had to wait just off the motorway for a repair truck. In the meantime, the traffic police arrived to make sure we were all ok. They very kindly came onboard to talk to the children about their job and then gave us a police escort to the nearest truck stop so we could get off and the tyre could be replaced. We cannot thank the truck stop enough: they were so welcoming giving us a room to wait in, drinks for the kids and most importantly chance to use the toilet!  At 12 o'clock, we were back on the coach heading back to school. The kids have been amazing. It may not have been the trip we planned but it's definitely been one to remember!!

We have already got some provisional dates for another trip, Hopefully, this time we'll make it to the Space Centre.
