We got to be honoured guests at a retirement do, thanks to our lovely neighbour, who was a mere 33 of the collective 325 departing years.
There was an array of pretty food, enthusiastic band and choir plus student and headmaster speeches - all incredibly moving and thoughtful; then photos and cartwheels on the lawn (thanks to M).
On getting back in the van J remarked that it had been a great retirement party and M that she thought this was somewhere she should go, as the teacher's were all so good. We'll just start saving now...
