HAVING just returned to Switzerland after our visit to England, we would like to say a big thank-you to everyone who was able to come and spend a happy afternoon with us at St Aidan's School, Blackburn on September 10.

It was lovely to meet you again after almost half a century. Although we talked non-stop, the time was just too short to converse with you as much as we would have liked. Perhaps another time?

S BEST and J WAKENSHAW (former teachers), Vaud, Switzerland.
