New conservatory

The building work is all complete at last after a year or so with the new kitchen, utility room and conservatory finished and furnished. The new sofa and seats for the conservatory arrived yesterday and it was lovely in the evening sitting out there with the wood burning stove blasting out heat from the utility room. We've got a good log pile and the garden is looking fairly up together despite the late start to the winter.

It wasn't until last week that we had frog spawn in the pond, a good 4 weeks later than has been the case in the past few years. Just 4 days until Easter and a good long break. It's been a hard term but the result of the early entry in GCSE Maths and English means we have already beaten the outcomes from last year in the summer exams. It looks like we could be in for some outstanding improvement which will be a great pay off for an incredibly demanding year.
