Festive Foliage Fun

The last day of college for 2011 yesterday and we lethargically finished off soils, I don't think any ones heart was really into serious study after a long term, all our thoughts were turning to Christmas and a well earned rest. Lunchtime got us in the festive mood as everyone had brought in a dish, much nicer than the usual cardboard sandwiches! I cheated and bought a cake from Bettys, all good intentions of preparing smoked salmon and horseradish crackers having flown out the window when the school bus had failed to pick the kids up, the road had been closed for repair and some numpty hadn't arranged an alternative bus stop! Anyway the spread looked fabulous and was followed by Richard's fiendish Christmas quiz, lots of cheating and fierce competition, and finally Mark's 'shrub charades', attempting to mime Latin plant names, more exhausting than learning!
