Last week Lexi came to work with me for the afternoon... Today she is enjoying the first day of a 2 week half-term!!
#IndyEdSendco #Lexithedog
So.. today at the end of an open day, Lexi decided to do this...
At least this pigeon was complete... the last one had no head!
Bloomin' young foxes need to learn to take them away after the initial kill!!!

Counting alarm clocks; unboxing Cutlery, crockery & glasses; sorting picture frames, flags & noticeboards; putting uniform & Amazon parcels in rooms...last few things to get The Houses ready for our boarders returning next week!

A wonderful independent school in the West Midlands.

Sad news!
Our Lady's Abingdon today announced their immediate closure.
My thoughts go out to all pupils, families and staff who now find themselves in a very difficult position as we head into a new academic year!
#IndyEdSENDCo #Independentschools #EduSky
A walk in the sunflowers, beach walks at Newgale and Broad Haven... and a Seal Spotting Walk to St Martin's Head (I won the Guess How Many? game this year with 11!)
A lovely few days coming home to Pembrokeshire!
#IndyEdSENDCo #LexiTheDog
Some of Lexi's summer holiday outings!!
Kinver Rock Houses & Hillfort, visiting friends in Witney, a pizza party for Archie's 12th B'day and some pub stops!!

Last week we did a house Penny Mile joining prep & senior school. Each house made a line of coins raising money for The Rotary Club. This evening my hubbie & I spent 40 mins in Sainsbury's loading the Coinstar with 2 buckets full of coins!! £336 raised!

So this bundle of fluff has been with us for a week now!
We have learned- she likes bare feet, is rubbish at folding towels & is not a spaniel, a pointer or a deerhound (!?!)
She is Lexi (an Italian Spinone) & she is fab!!!

When you have a clear sign to not do any work this evening!
#IndyEdSENDCo #melodyonthemend #sendcolife
The day that fills me with dread...
GCSE French listening and reading exams.
😵💫
A manic day with many extra invigilators and rooms to accommodate all tiers and extra timers.
So far, so good!!!
#IndyEdSENDCo #examtime #EduSky ##UkEd
A wonderful opportunity to become part of a supportive PE dept in a thriving Independent Boarding School in the West Midlands.
