Week at a Glance

Week ago today, Dennis and Julian headed out for a bike ride - as you can see they had glorious weather at the amazing Wasdale Head! Actually, the whole time Julian was here it was sunny and cold - I'm sure he thought I had been lying about the rainy weather.

Later that night Julieanne headed off to the Christmas Ball looking oh so pretty!

Wednesday, Dennis and I were able to sneak down to London for a very speedy trip so he could attend a British Nuclear Society dinner. The girls boarded over night at the school while Nathan stayed with the Hedahl's (an American family on Dennis' team) We got to explore Westminster Abbey which really is a historic cemetry and monument. Centuries old, it did leave you wanting to understand the English history more fully and the role of this church.

Also during the week the girls got to experience their house Christmas Dinners, a tradition to host the pupils by gender and ages. Each pupil is assigned to a 'house' where the houseparent is responsible for their care. They have activities broken down by houses. So the annual Christmas dinners are for each house - they entertain each other, give speeches and gifts and enjoy a fancy Christmas dinner in the original part of the school.
