Town Mouse

LAST week brought us to the end of term at last and, for our youngest child, departure from primary school. Thanks in near tropical heat. That was followed on the last full day of term by class celebrations, culminating in a barbecue for the leavers. I happened to walk past the school during the course of the day and it sounded as if the whole building was in the throes of a good-natured riot. Parents were invited to speeches in the early evening.
