"So snow comes after fire and even dragons have their ending..."
A quote from The Hobbit, and one that sprung into my mind when I received a phone call from my previous school asking me if I was able to attend the final get together of former staff before the school closes its doors for the final time after 100+ years of educating children.
So, I'll be catching up with staff there in a few weeks, sharing a smile and at the same time shedding a tear as the school becomes another statistic in the councils closure lists.
