Scarborough is so bracing!

Yesterday saw the boarding community on their summer term outing to Scarborough. The weather was fairly kind, and we only got soaking wet once during the day. Activities included a trip to the art gallery, a climb up to the castle and an excellent lunch in our own little dining room at the "Princess", overlooking the harbour. In the afternoon, we played cricket on the beach, flew kites, and generally let the cares of the world drift away for a glorious late spring afternoon.




Alex contemplates a view from behind bars. We hope this won't be a useful preparation for later life, but you never know....





Fran, pulling strings as usual...






Really, can it get more perfect than this?




















Yes it can! Rob Hudson takes his familiar stance for one more glorious innings.






















Curious specimen discovered at low tide. Thrown back to sea in sympathy...

Three New Boarders for Fox

In addition to the recent arrival of Robert Hall, who joined our boarding community last term, Fox receives two new boarders this week in the form of Tom Thornton, new to Bootham completely, and Nathaneal Warwick - already a member of the upper schoolroom.

To all three we extend warm wishes and an even warmer welcome!
