So... One last blast; with a final Senior School Assembly. An almost direct re-run of the assembly a year earlier, in which I appeared wearing Steve's borrowed kit. Today I strode on in all my own gear. Ludicrously hot of course, so, after a brief introduction, I unloaded the outer layers to the sound of "The Stripper". (Thank you Ms Choudhury for turning it on!). This seemed to put everyone in a good mood.
It was nice to finally present Lucy Hewson with a small prize for designing my Sledging Pennant. I was able to run throught the process that had brought me to this point and to thank everyone for their support. I was also able to outline the sequence of events that will take place over the time running up to Christmas. You can see these in the timetable section of this site. I can't believe that I'm finally going either!
Thank you to everyone who wished me well and signed a card.

I spent a little time setting up a display board that I hope will carry copies of the bulletins and give a little info about where I have gone.

All set for a great adventure? Lots of last-minute stuff to do still.
