I came home on Friday with a car loaded with cards, flowers, and gifts from children and colleagues at Belvoirdale School. The card from the Reception Classes was absolutely wonderful. Every child has made a unique fingerprint on the tree – and their names were written beside. Beneath the tree it simply said “Thank you for helping us to grow” – such things make teaching worthwhile!
I shall treasure this gift – I would like to frame it and hang it in my sewing corner when I get to Dorset. Thank you, friends!
How lovely! Wondering where in Dorset you will be moving to - we might be neighbours perhaps?
ReplyDeleteBob is to be the new Pastor of the United Church, Ferndown, just north of Bournemouth
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your new home and sadly we shall not be neighbours as you'll be about 40 miles from where I live.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can meet up at a coffee shop in the middle!
DeleteWe got very excited en route to Brighton when we passed signs for Ferndown!
ReplyDeleteYour tree is so lovely, what a delightful memory for you.
How lovely. I should frame it now or it will get tatty, or else you'll put it safely in a book and forget which one. Actually, that's me I'm talking about!
ReplyDeleteI intend to measure it and go and buy a frame this weekend - you are so right, if it moves to Dorset unframed it will get damaged!
DeleteA gift to be treasured!
