The building itself used to be a monastery. The monks who inhabited it fled he countryside over 100 years ago when the Russian rulers didn't support religion. There is a legend that they hid all of the monastery treasures somewhere in the monastery before fleeing- but no one has found anything. We did look- and think that they have possibly been hidden down the well. Miss Hepworth wanted Miss Bell to investigate this theory but she politely declined.
On entry to the school we were greeted by a lady dressed as a bumble bee- this made us laugh and we wondered if she might be distant relative of Miss Gibson. The children entertained us with songs and dances and Miss Hepworth was asked to dance for a change. We then played traditional games- one involving being pushed around in a wheel barrow. After pushing Miss Hepworth the young man had to stop for a rest. Hopefully Miss Bell won't display the photos at school.
Missing everybody. See you all soon. X
Glad you're both ok and that things are still going well! It sounds like you've seen a really good mixture of places and we are all desperate to find out more about it when you get back to school.
ReplyDeleteI think you might be right about the bumble bee lady and Miss Gibson!
Look after each other!
