This afternoon a presentation ceremony was held for me in the playground.   The Headmaster and many other members of staff 'took to the stage' and said some very kind words.   The children showered me with flowers they had collected.   Even year 5 boys had gone to the trouble of making posies, using a piece of their exercise books



















 

What do to with all the flowers?
















I was given the honour of red tikka powder, not only on my forehead, but also this year on my cheeks, a garland of flowers and ceremonial scarf. The tears started to flow when the children came up one by one to say thank you and goodbye.  One little girl gave me an ornament from her bedroom..


 
 
 
 
Then Hari invited some of the staff up to the Lodge for tea and to discuss a possible way forward for the school.

    The time has certainly flown by. What lovely posies - perhaps you can press some of the flowers as a memento? I hope your teatime discussion was fruitful.
