I’m finding it hard to believe, but I’ve actually handed in all three assignments for this term! The third arrived at the Theology Office at approximately two minutes to four (four o’clock being the deadline) but they’re all away and all is good! Just thought I’d tell the world because I’m happy. And tomorrow I’m … Read moreAssignments Done!

It’s the tenth AS, and for the first nine the band that has become Soul Purpose led worship. Last year … Read moreI love Autumn Soul

I did Latin GCSE and this is taught in a similar way. All seemed well. Until I realised I was back to learning Vocab!!! Thankfully, as you can see … Read moreAargh! Greek!
This is just one of a number of pretty sunsets we saw when on holiday in France in September. Another great photo from Ross & Kathryn!
