We had to wake up really early this morning because the time had finally come to say goodbye to our chinese guests. After some last minute packing and rushing around the house gathering various belongings, we travelled to school to say farewell. Standing outside the coach they were to travel to heathrow in, many farewells were exchanged with the promise of an email as soon as our guests returned home.

The mood was lightened however with the arrival of Mr.Tu, who seemed overlly impressed with Mrs.Aylwards Chinese language skills. Our guests finally boarded the coach (which held a certain air of poshness- leather seats and all!) and although the windows were tinted black, we all waved blindly at the windows until the coach had left.

We are all sad to see them go, but we hope that we have given our guests memories and positive impressions of England which they will treasure forever.

Bring on the trip to China!
