5 years

Not only the last day of term but the fifth anniversary of bringing Bailey home. That 19th July was wet and this one has been too, making for a very damp end to the year. This morning there was more office sorting ready for a move, followed by a whole school assembly with lots to acknowledge and then an early finish for the students and most of the staff. Some stayed to wish leavers goodbye and I volunteered to supervise the one student who had not managed to make alternative travel arrangements. He was good company, to be fair and his bus was not too late. 

One more box filled and then I headed home via the supermarket. I was very tempted to sleep but stuck to the arrangement of going out with colleagues for tapas and then down the hill a little way to the pub. It was a good way to definitively end the term.
