" Ad Vitam Paror" .....

...... translated as " I am being prepared for life" is the school motto of my High School for 6 years and in celebration of its 125 year anniversary this flower bed greets visitors to the town.

Whether it succeeded in preparing me for life is hard to say but a chance suggestion by my Biology teacher when we were discussing my higher results did set me on the career as a vet which has kept me going these last 42 years!
