John has been off school today with tummy bug, but he was well enough to go round Millthorpe School in preparation for moving up next year.

He recognised lots of the pupils who were there, which made him feel better the change - not that he seems worried. All the pupils were very chatty and seemed well balanced enough! I think it's really difficult to tell what a school is like from the outside though. Toby seems to get on well there, so…

All Saints next week, but I should think it'll be Millthorpe for John and Rose - there will have to be very compelling reasons if not.
