After Sales Service

One of the delights of the extended Burr family is that it just keeps getting bigger. It was great to see Frankie Pawley, a former Head of House, in the summer - with his extremely beautiful fiancee. Frankie is now running his own diving school in Dubai.

Then another face from the past appeared the other night - I wan't quite sure why, as he'd left under a bit of a cloud, only some of which was tobacco. He's been living in Germany and his accent has got stuck somewhere between south London and Dusseldorf. His companion has spent the last year in Asia, working through kundalini yoga to find the best spiritual path. This was all interesting but I still wasn't sure why I was singled out to receive these confidences. It eventually got round to the saxophone which had been left behind some years ago, and was it still here ? There have been two Directors of Music since, but we're still looking in the Music School.

And then there was the phone call from a charming international student who left this summer, and now starting Uni in London - did I have his Aunty's mobile phone number ? He'd lost all the numbers from his own mobile, and was due to meet her at Baker Street tube - mine was one of the few he could remember. Thanks to our database, I was able to text him numbers for both his aunt and his cousin.

And then I could get down to marking year 11's ICT coursework.
