Back to school

Couldn't believe how dark it was at half past six this morning. Very dark! Very early! And then the amount of traffic on the M5/M6! It's amazing how quickly you forget those things. Anyway, every one at school was very kind and lovely, and the sixth form all seemed pleased to see me as we got into the rather morbid depths of the poetry of Robert Frost. The blue sky was very gentle today, there's still lots of building/refurbing work going on, there are lots of things I don't want to know about (lesson observations, data collections for example) but it did restore my faith generally in the kindness and love shown by colleagues who are used to having to support others. And I got home in time to make some mince pies.
