University days - the happiest time of your life?

Warming up for the planned departure of child 2 to a university far, far away - we made it to our third University open day. This time we went to St Andrews. It is a quiet town in Fife when child 1 is not staying there.

I also popped in to the chapel to see that it was still there.  I played here in the school windband many years ago. I remember that the floor has gratings with the heating pipes underneath, and these gratings have holes big enough for a music stand leg to slip down.

 I know the embarassment of losing the entire concert's bassoon music across the floor.

It looks the same now as it did then.

 

In remembrance

When at school, I once took part in the remembrance service at St Andrews war memorial. It was a freezing morning, and I was playing the snare drum. No gloves! 

This year, we went to the short ceremony in Bannockburn, where the wreath-laying was in the pouring rain.
