This morning I took Carly off to Gants Hill to meet the coach to go to JLGB camp. The coach was due to leave at 10.am and there was another JLGB coach leaving at 10.45am. Of course, we did not expect the coach to leave on time, we always allow for JMT (Jewish mean Time). At 10.30 am there was no sight nor sound of the coach and the coach leaders decided to call the coach company…Guess what? The coach driver had driven more than half way to East Mersea (Where the camp is) before realising that he was meant to pick the children up from Gants Hill and deliver them to East Mersea Campsite. Meanwhile the 10.45 coach had arrived and the cases and children started to board. Finally the missing coach arrived….next problem…. too much luggage!!! So between the two coaches, the luggage was finally sorted and children loaded even if it was 1 hour 15 minutes late. The two coaches finally departed together.
Quote from one fed up father “It is a wonder the Jews ever got out of Egypt!”
I hope they all have fantastic camp and I will visit on Open Day, Wednesday (with the pile of clothes that could not be squeezed into the case!)
