Noyes Fludde


Did I mention Global Warming back in April?
It has rained now every day for the last six weeks, torrential rain, summer storms, drizzle, constant showers and cats and dogs!!

Forecast for the next week is the same! Will it ever stop?

The wettest June in 150 years and July looks the same....what has happened to Summer this year? Could it be Global Warming or did Noah get it right?
I'm still not convinced!
It can only get better...surely!!
My poor telescopes have lay dormant and apart from one night this week for about half an hour, there has not been a clear night in six weeks.
Update:
Worst Floods in History (since Noah!)
"Flood ravaged areas of England are being warned that more heavy rain is set to sweep across the country.
Hundreds of families are still unable to return to their homes as floods continue to affect parts of Yorkshire and the Midlands."
Following this floods in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire left towns and villages near to the River Avon and Severn underwater. Tewksbury, Gloucester, Evesham and even the M5!
Unbelievable!

Apollo 11

Well, eight days to go and our school is shutting down and moving to a new building.
A lot of memories here...
Last week we celebrated the opening of our school in 1960 with a 60's week so that children today could experience life in the 1960's. The picture above is a large display made by the kids and myself to celebrate Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the Moon during July 1969.
It was great listening to 60's music and re-living that day on the 20th July 1969.
I've been here at St. Andrew's now for 15 years, strange that my school closes on 20th July 2007 ... the same day that man walked on the moon and a date I will never forget!
