Neighbours

Speech Day today. My girl's moving out day from the lovely prep boarding house. Next year, it's into the senior houses for y9 onwards. They've carefully considered a room for her. She's in a lovely two bed room, tucked out of the way of the chaos of the main house so she can have space and quiet. Today we found out that her sister-by-choice, who will be going into lower sixth, will be her next door neighbour. We don't think it's coincidental. 

The packing trauma was reduced by an extremely kind matron who took over where Katie had broken, while they were out at speech day. She and I had a couple of fairly stressy hours together but I dropped her off at the dress rehearsal for the weekends ballet show and all was well. She's spending the weekend with a lovely friend from Ballet.
