A few years ago, I went back to St Mary's - I hadn't been in there since I left when i was 11 - to see if I wanted to send Maddie there. I was clearly biased but it's working out ok. Lots of things felt exactly the same as when I left but obviously lots of things had changed. Now, I go in there on a regular basis - in there today supporting some drumming workshops - and it doesn't feel like 'my old school' anymore, it's their school.

They knocked Paddock House down a few years ago but they held an open day on the last day before it all went. We were allowed to look in the nun's old quarters to see how they lived - that was interesting.
