My fingers nearly fell off today. I spent nearly an hour outside in the freezing cold and drizzle doing photos for our new 'special packs' for Walking Buses and class trips.

I could call it a photoshoot to make it sound glam. But what it actually meant was me out in the garden trying to cover a wet, leafstrewn plastic table with the least creased tablecloth I could find to use as a backdrop. Trying to stop the sheets of Walking Bus stickers flying away was another challenge. Bet David Bailey doesn't have those problems.

At least we've got the Walking Bus special pack on the website now (smartened up the photo first) and the Class set pack details should be published early next week.

Had a tear-around afternoon to factory and printers before parking in the local pub car park to Park & Stride and pick the kids up from school and hand out Walking Bus annual registration forms to parents.

No guilt at all about the teatime fish and chips - deserve!
