This week at work has not been spent at work. In a rather cunning use of funding, we have been taking a group of 10 pupils out on Outdoor Education to try to improve their listening, group working and self-esteem.

On a hill walk up nearby Dumyat, we managed to clear cloud level (yes, we are as high as an aeroplane!). The Wallace Monument tried desperately to break through to the sun… My phone couldn’t quite capture it, but you can just see it breaking through… (Yes, it is from Lord of the Rings!)
