Monday 11th February

This morning Mrs Meally and I went to see the children of St Joseph's.  We arrived at lunchtime and it was mad, we were greeted by hundreds of excitable children.  They ran towards us almost knocking us over!!  The children were quickly assembled and began their lunchtime prayers.  Instead of lining up silently they were lined up singing. Instead of walking in quietly, they marched in singing and clapping - We're going to have to talk to Miss Nolan about introducing this (What do you think school council?).

After a welcome song from the senior school we were taken on a tour by the school council, what a lively bunch they were!  The tour seemed to be never ending - they had 18 classes each with about 60 children in!!

At the end of our visit Miss Alpha volunteered to take us back to JT to meet the rest of the Wells Cathedral group.  This walk, or should I say mountain abseil, was a death trap - Miss Alpha got us very lost and we given the chance to explore the mountain in villages in our flip flops!  A walk that was supposed to take 10 minutes was one long tiring hour trek!

Not being satisfied that we had done enough exercise, in the evening we took part in the local 5k running club.  Needless to say we didn't run it!!
