• The Melted Clock
    ]No Snow and a school full with children again – it was almost like starting term all over again at Kingstone and Thruxton Primary School today.

    We had a lot of fun dreaming up stories. Normally I might share them with you, but we came up with some really interesting ideas I might like to take a bit further.

    The school had a nasty fire in 2005. This is the year Three clock that was saved and framed. Very Salvador Dali!

    Thanks all for a great day and I’ll look forward to seeing the work you did after I left.
    Driving back through the village, I went past the old National School, sporting a very grand sign on the outside. The National schools were run by the National Society for Promoting Religious Education which provided the first near universal elementary education in England.

    The snow has melted and joined the pile of rain we had on Sunday, now coursing down the rivers from the Welsh mountains. This is the River Wye at Lower Lydbrook, where the road was almost flooding this morning.
