Willow Brook School’s Grand Opening!

Willow Brook's Celebratory Cake

Regular visitors to this website will remember that back in June I posted a story about ‘Church Mead’ school being relaunched as ‘Willow Brook’ school (click here to reread that story).

Ever since I posted that story, pupils old and new have been posting their comments about their experiences of Church Mead and their hopes for Willow Brook.

It’s been this website’s most popular story so far!!!

On Friday, local MP Harry Cohen and I attended the official launch of Willow Brook school, which was absolutely lovely.

Below, are some pics of the event.

Enjoy! 🙂 Continue reading “Willow Brook School’s Grand Opening!”

Sofia’s First Communion

Celebrating my beautiful God Daughter's First Communion

I’ve just returned home from a lovely weekend in Germany, celebrating my beautiful God Daughter Sofia’s (pictured above, and with me in the ‘about me’ section of this website’s) first communion.

It was a really lovely ceremony and I felt quite emotional as I thought about the day I made my own first communion, now twenty years ago.

Anyway, I promised Sofia I would post this photo of us, taken after the church service, to the website.

Gut gemacht, meine Liebe! Ich bin total stolz auf dich!

Viele Gruesse und viel Liebe.
