Tales From Cuckoo Land ~ Cosytober~when bad things happen to good yarn and a visit from my brother*

EDIT :: Until the 30th April 2023 all money raised through this YT channel went directly to my sons previous special needs school. From May onward I will support the school in a different way that’s less sporadic ::
:: All money raised through this YT channel goes directly to my sons special needs school ::
My son, Bill, goes to gorgeous, tiny, little special needs school for gorgeous special children. Bill and his friends there all need just a little more care, attention, love and guidance to help them access friendships and education. Bill has autism (and a variety of other issues such as Sensory Processing Disorder, ADD, Dyspraxia, Global Developmental Delay and Klinefelters Syndrome) and most of his school mates have similar challenges as well as Dyslexia across the board. Bill's school is woefully underfunded for a variety of reasons that would take pages of text to explain. The teachers aren't well paid yet they are constantly buying supplies the children need that most pupils don't require; such as pen grips and fiddle toys to aid concentration etc...I have been fundraising for a few years now and with your help have managed to help subsidise school trips, buy sensory room equipment, Occupational Therapy equipment, outdoor tables and chairs, a trampoline...and a mini bus!! #billsspecialbus 🤩 We have a lot to pay for as the school moved premises and taken on more pupils. This is all amazing news but means the pressure is on financially. All this fundraising helps a phenomenal school that has given so many children a future they would not have been able to access. Thank you so much for any kind of support you give us.

Of course you did more than “just tidy the kitchen”; you took care of your family, you took the dog for a walk, you fed your friens, you entertained and enjoyed company, you did a school run, and you vlogged! Sounds like a fun, full, and productiday if you ask me! Hapoy October. Salam wa sa’aadah

    We have a farmer in the making. My brother in law works on a farm. My 7yr old nephew is obsessed with tractors and farm machinery, so much that some of his bantams are named after them, ones called loader and there's John Deere and I think Massey? Anyways my sis, brother in law and my nephew were having a natter with brother in laws boss. The boss asked my nephew if he was going to work on the farm for him when he was older, to which my nephew replied "oh no, I'm going to do your job" 😍 I love that boy 🤣

    I too hate these dark mornings! Normally in the summer I can be up before dawn without any problem but as it is darker now I get up later and seem to lose half a day.. So upset for your yarn. I hope you can save some of it. I think freezing it is a good start. Please let us all know how you get on dear Cuckoo. This video was such fun and a lovely catch up too. Have been missing your videos too. I hope your decorating goes well as it is so hard to cope with everything scattered in various rooms and trying to find something in the midst of it all. Half of my home is already packed up pending my house move which is taking so long with this backlg in the housing market which we currently have. Never mind, it will happen sometime but not right now! I have also fluffed up something on KZread so am using another computer to leave my comment. Heaven knows what I have done but I am unable to leave comments on my main laptop. Anyway, great to see everyone. XX from Norfolk.
