Hurrah, the snow came down.
11 day girls and about half of the staff made it into school. So with the boarders and the 25 Juniors who also made it up the steep and slippy hill they enjoyed a day of 'Fun in the snow' until 9:30, a languages quiz (snow related), Science time (all snow related) and then an Art Lesson. Then the fabulous lunch - which as ever on a Thurday included CHIPS!
Then after lunch they officially closed school most of the day girls had already gone home and it is the first official snow day (possibly ever!) tomorrow. This should be cool. Having a few panicky issues about the fact that we are supposed to have a play on on Monday Luchtime that has never been tun through with the whole cast, set, props or technical wizadry - but if the snow has its way then we won't be in then either!
Some props for one of the plays next week arrived this morning - boxing gloves. And with them?for free? Quite honestly the largest mug I have ever seen! It's huge, and is now sat next to me on the desk filled with approximately 2 cups of tea.....oh yes, this snow day is going to be a wonder!

I also got to go up the tower for the first time today. Took some wonderful photos. The view form up there was just stunning - although you weirdly lose your bearings when you're up there looking down at everything! It was a very....!Famous Five-esque" climb up. 2/3 of the way consistes of a tiny stone spiral staircase (accompanied by Raph's running commentary on the dangers he felt were aroung - honestly for a geographer he hasn't got much sense of adventure!) and then a series of dubious looking ladders - the last the most dubious of all, especially when you're the first one up and have to unbolt and then shift the slightly degraded trap door. Well, I say trap door, there no hinges so it's not a door, just piece of chip board with 2 (although only one works!) bolts on it. Still it was fun and the view was definitely worth it :)
