Following the usual Saturday afternoon sports fest and a long walk in the sun ,where a swarm of Lady Birds were discovered, the boarders settled down to some relaxation.
Pizza, chips and corn on the cob in a box was the order of the day, served in a box in front of the last minutes of Ireland v Wales. Despite some vociferous support Ireland lost…sorry Mr Murphy!
Next it was time to move on to some…chilling out! The younger girls retired upstairs to Mrs Moulton’s Salon for some serious pampering. Elegant makeup and some slick hairdo’s were on display, just take a look at the pictures! You might notice an addition to the beautifully made up girls in the picture as our Australian Gap ,Mr Hoggetts (AKA Billinda) accidentally made his way up stairs to be have a make over of his own.
Downstairs there was a DVD on the big screen for the younger boys, whilst the older boys played pool, table football and Fifa 2010 on the games console in ‘The Cellar.’ The older girls made use of their common room to snuggle up and watch a movie of their choice. With so much activity going on it was a shame to have to call bed time!
After such a relaxing evening the boarding house sprung back into life in the morning. Fuelled by Pain au chocolate the boarders played golf, 5 a side football, sent e-mails, skyped and watched the old girls hockey match which took place on the astro. A full Sunday Roast then set everyone up for the main event…SHOPPING!
The sweet shops, milk shake shops and clothes shops of Bath, must have rubbed their hands with glee as the All Hallows 50 descended upon their shops like hungry locusts! As always the behaviour on the trip was top notch and the staff commented upon the politeness and punctuality of the children. (Well done Gang!)
In the evening it was Mass; then letter writing time, where hopefully, all children had plenty to write home about. Before bed there was just time for some hot chocolate to top off the weekend. (In case anyone hadn’t eaten or drank enough!)
