I did indeed go out to the family gathering, good food and company. A few people I had seen before, so nice to catch up with them. A couple of new ones that it was a pleasure to meet and greet.
That was a couple of weeks ago now and in between we have had the weekend where the school celebrated its seventy five year anniversary. That weekend was also the birthday party of one of the people I had met at the 'gathering'.
I go to very few social events and then to have two clash is a nuisance, I missed the birthday party.
I took some pictures at the anniversary and posted them for the school so these are copies for you.

The hall that the Primary students performed in was an original building from the earliest years of the school while Bezawit and Elin (both students of mine) were in the new auditorium. The man, Haile, opening the museum and unveiling the statues has been with the school all of his life.
In the evening we had a meal and some speeches, most notably online with one of the grandchildren of the founders.
This weekend has been a different occasion with the year thirteens graduating and they had a fabulous warm sunny day to celebrate around the grounds with their families and friends.
There has been alot of free cake just lately :-)
