Neill - your comment 'from zealots, of any faith, Good Lord defend us' - with which indcidentally I heartily agree - reminds me of my father's description of the City of London motto Domine Dirige Nos. In Dad's words it meant 'Lord protect us, not God help us'. Personally I think it is Lord direct ...

I apologise for returning to this subject but I wonder if any one has a rough date as to when the School ceased to hire a special train to take pupils to London. I assume that normal passenger services are now used as of course they were on the Guildford and Brighton lines. Does the school now brea...

I wonder if I can persuade DS to try this out next holidays.....I've never been to the Tower! Certainly go - It's a great experience. If possible at night, check out the Ceremony of the Keys. That's also very moving. Tickets for the Ceremony of the Keys need to be applied for - in the summer some w...
