My dream is to put down everyone’s bucket and leave, happy in the knowledge everyone will eat their own breakfast and then wander off feeling full and happy, collecting the empty buckets later.

But this is never going to happen. Today was not the exception and I had to stand guard realising that everyone was eating far too close together.  My fault.

All except Haakon who was a little away from the rest.

Kolka is my worst offender.  She scoffs her food as fast as she can and then looks around and goes for someone else.

Iacs is first to be picked on. Iacs in turn then picks on Fivla and Vitamin.  It is a case of big fish eat little fish who eat even smaller ones…..

But today I stood guard between Kolka and Iacs, Fivla and Vitamin and she quickly realised she would be on a hiding to nothing if she tried.

I was pleased Kolka didn’t try her usual bullying antics.

The old ladies finished quickly and everyone was safe for another day.  Phew!
