Victorian Assembly

Dear Mummy

At Hannah's request I went to see her perform in her Victorian assembly this morning, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was funny, witty and extremely cute.

But I felt out of place. Even though I had been invited I still felt like a gate crasher surrounded by rolls royce and porche drivers who are spending a small fortune to put their children through this school. And I felt that people were shunning me, looking in my direction but not physically seeing me. Is it that obvious I'm not rolling in money?

I felt like an outsider and a downright outcast this morning. The school was lovely and the work displayed was bright and very well done, but it still felt like a completely different world to me. It was like this reign of academic achievement, with little warmth and little care for the pupils themselves.

Hannah did very well, she was a delight.
