Sent home from School!

Well, you couldn't make it up!  I know I have said this before, but this is a classic.  

The day started with the boiling up of saucepans of water to enable a strip-and hair-wash.  This is because the combi-boiler is on the blink and is due to be replaced (at GREAT cost) next week (lockdown permitting), so not an ideal morning ritual.  I then drove to my new place of work, for my first day.  It was an easy journey, the sun was shining, the traffic moving at a decent pace, no waiting in queues and arrived with a good ten minutes to spare.  Always beneficial for a positive first impression!

BUT... after an hour's work I was sent home from school!  This is because my DBS (security check) has not come through yet.  I do have one for my other school job (arrived today) but a separate DBS is required for each employer / premises.  Bureaucracy gone mad?

​So, hopefully, the DBS for Bredon School will come through this week and I can get on with it - again.

In the meantime, here are a few photographs of the school  surroundings - not bad for an early November morning. 

The drive in.

View from the office's kitchen window.... have yet to explore the greenhouse!
