The service was very good, although I'm sure that the volume of the boys' singing has diminished somewhat over the years. It seems like long gone are the days when one of the first pieces of standard issue when arriving at the start of your school career was your hymn book!
After the service we caught a brief glance of Jake as he dashed off to Subway to get his lunch, and Nicky and I enjoyed a sandwich in one of the coffee shops along the High Street, before taking Jake and a couple of his mates back up to school for the afternoon.
We met John and Margaret at school, and set up on the boundary of the cricket pitch, vaguely watching the sport, but mostly enjoying the sunshine. It's good to see that some school traditions haven't changed. Pitt came last in the athletics, and Gordon first. Still, I'm sure that the Pitt students still maintain that whilst they may not have the sporting talent, they have the brains, as I think was claimed a generation (or two?) ago.
Back from school and it's been an evening of barbecue in the garden, enjoyed by humans and animals alike.
