New term!

As we welcome the spring, the photos on our phones and the turning of the pages in our diaries remind us of sunny days, salads and long cocktails. As we plan summer breaks and day outs we also have to navigate an additional Bank Holiday, for the coronation of King Charles III.

It seems as if it was just yesterday that we were celebrating Queen Elizabeth's jubilees, then swathed in sadness we watched from afar as a wife, children and grandchildren buried the patriarch of their family, and then the children and grandchildren said farewell to their matriarch.  A husband and wife reunited, together, forever.
 
Now, we look forward to a coronation. Street parties, pageantry, special editions of magazines and live commentary across the world - think how times have changed since the coronation. of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the first, and could possibly be the only coronation in my lifetime, but I know class participants will have stories from the 'last coronation'.

The Royal Family is part of the fabric of our lives, and we will be commemorating this occasion with special classes on

• Monday 24th April (this is early due to the May Day Bank Holiday)
• Tuesday 9th May
• Wednesday 10th May
