And so it is all over.

We've swept the embers and waved away the smoke from the small fire I inadvertently started on opening night. (Well really, all I did was switch on my lights). 

We've had our grades. For me: a Distinction. Along with many others. Happily everyone has got the grades they need to progress to University - which they have all made seem so very easy.

And Annie and I are back to the real world; itching to get on with things.

Thank you, all the wonderful team at Strode College, very, very much. It's been fab - despite Duncan and Chris' mockery of both my art work and, now it seems, my drilling 'talents'.

So long, the world of art. It's been a blast.
