The Royal Wedding

Daniel, our grandson, enjoying the celebrations!

I wouldn't say that we were ardent royalists, but we enjoyed the coverage of the Royal Wedding yesterday - so much so that we watched the highlights all over again yesterday evening. (I know, very sad)! As you can see, Daniel got into the spirit of the occasion.

I think it was a great event: hats off to all involved. I wish more people had been singing the hymns enthusiastically, though.

It will be interesting to see in a year or two's time whether the Royal Wedding has created more demand for church weddings or not.

Naming a road

I've been at the Primary School where I am a governor for an assembly this morning. We were very excited because the mayor came to visit the school. The school is having a completely new build, on part of its grounds, and we hope that the new building will be ready for the school to move into in November.

The reason that the mayor was in school this morning was to launch a competition to name the new road that will lead up to the entrance of the new school. The children will suggest names, the best three will go to the local council who will decided which of those three names is most appropriate.

I'm sure that the children will come up with some great names, but I wonder whether any children will suggest one of the following ideas

1. Inspiration Alley
2. Learning Place
3. Don't Run Walk

Any other suggestions will be gratefully received!

(Apparently the road is crescent shaped, if only it was sharply inclined as well it could be 'Steep Learning Curve').
