So, the last nails were hammered in and, as is traditional, the roofers have to be thrown a chicken to mark their achievement in bringing the building to this stage.
Last nails going in
Fred throws the chicken up to the builders
They have to catch it and bring it down to be cooked and shared with everyone as part of the celebrations of the fact that the building has reached a definitive stage.
Nearly there
Safely caught – let the celebrations begin
Fred sends his sincere gratitude to all who have helped to get the school to this stage. Wish I could have been there to share in the celebrations. Settled for a glass of wine instead.
While this is a significant achievement there is still much to do, but for now we can all give ourselves a pat on the back for getting this far.

Thanks Abi. I’m really happy for them, and very grateful to all the donors who made it possible. Alas, there is still much to do. But I’m happy we’ve come this far.
