Time is precious – lock it up

October 5, 20102 Comments

I did a nice video of St Peter Port this afternoon but I’m having trouble uploading it si I’ll have to wait until I get home.

Today I went to Haute Capelles primary school, St Andrew’s primary school, and Vale junior school.

At Haute Capelles I spotted this clock in the gym. The bars on it made me think that time is precious in Guernsey and they like to keep it well protected. It certainly seems to move at a different pace here. They drive much faster, or that’s the way it seems, maybe it’s just the narrow roads that zip past at a faster pace.

Other things move at a slower pace than the mainland. I suspect they wait and see if things work in other places before they introduce them here. New ideas are like viruses, so you need to be sure they are benign before you introduce them into such a small community.

    We really enjoyed your chat about ‘Monster Boy’ here at Beechwood. We think your drawings are very good. We hope you enjoyed your visit to us here at Beechwood! We liked asking you questions and we enjoyed your sense of humour. We remember the stories about your new glasses and ‘the world has turned full circle’. We want to put as much expression into our reading as YOU did and to write stories NEARLY as good as yours!
