The last weekend of term


Fox house split into two parties today, with some of our seniors going on a shopping expedition to Leeds, followed by a meal in Maxi's. Many thanks to Robert Sandercock and Sarah Mallinson for leading that. The balance of twenty three other members of the house chose not to go on the Leeds trip, but instead went out for a meal together at a local curry house. Well done to everyone who managed to finish their vindaloos! There were some pretty red faces by the end, but not a scrap of food was wasted.

Tomorrow, we have the meeting in York Minster Crypt to look forward to, mince pies and hot chocolate in the committee room, and Carols by Candlelight in the school hall. It's a busy life at Bootham at the best of times, but this week will be a lot busier than most!

Christmas @ Evelyn House

The Christmas tree and associated decorations came out of storage and were decorated by the boys at Evelyn, to the sound of the usual Christmas songs from that CD that has to be played, by order of the memsaab (Sandy Gordhandas), when the tree is decorated. After a little guidance the decorations were taken off Jamie and put on the tree!


We had no star for the tree so Suzie came to the rescue with a tebby bear with was christmas-fied.



Once the decorations were finished then there was the usual family photograph of everyone in front of the x-mas tree. The evening was finished off with mice pies and hot chocolate.

Here are two short videos of the evening in glorious technicolour!


Happy Blogging until next time!
