New school open day

Today Cardiff Steiner Initiative held their first Open Day at their new base in the former Hawthorns Primary School in Llandaff North. The place is still being prepared to welcome children after half term, and by then only half of work of renovation and adaptation will be complete. Nevertheless, substantial progress has been made, and the main hall and three classrooms are ready for use. I went with Clare to have a look around and greet people there I knew. While I was there, a steady stream of well wishers and parents turned up to take an interest or inquire about schooling for their offspring. Most gratifying.

Clare stayed there until the event finished, but I returned home as I had more work to do, reviewing the notes from yesterday's meeting over the phone with Ashley, writing a sermon for tomorrow, and then starting on another document for College. Just as well there was plenty to keep me indoors as the afternoon and evening weather was bad, featuring hail and thunder. Still, darkness falls a little later each day now, more perceptible than at the turn of the year, even if there's cloud from horizon to horizon.
