My review of Lady of Hay by Barbara Erskine was going to go live at midnight, that was my plan until I realised the guys had the day off!  We slept in, goofed around and then our oldest child remembered he needed a purple shirt for his cabaret performance.   We were rather impressed, he usually recalls these types of details mere moments before needing to dress, so having about 24 hours of advance noticed was thrilling.   Sadly it meant we had to go shopping (which I absolutely, positively detest).  However, now that my children are much older they are great  fun to go clothing shopping with.  We had probably more fun than necessary mocking some of the “new trends” in clothing.   Thankfully they are just trends.   The twins have to take the PSAT in the morning, so we decided to make it an early night of it with popcorn and movies.

Which is an exceedingly long way to say, I have not quite finished Lady of Hay by Barbara Erskine and I am fine with the change in plans and enjoyed…
