There was a buzz around school today.
It all had something to do with this…
I apologize for the haze in the picture. I ran outside and tried to hurry when I took the photo, not realizing that my lens was smudged.
It was a bit of a funny sight to see a limo parked behind a Pepsi truck, eh? Only in a small town.
The limo arrived at the school with a very special visitor: Her Right Worshipful, the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Louise Hyams and her entourage.
What a mouthful, eh?
My friend, Figaro, found this link, which provides more details about the Lord Mayor. I didn’t realize, before reading the information on the internet, that Ms. Hyams holds a legitimate office. Interesting lesson.
One can’t help but wonder why in the world would someone come across the ocean to a tiny little school like mine?
Well, apparently the school’s band has acquired quite the reputation. It is one of the fewer than 20 that will perform at a New Year’s Day parade in London. It’s one of the most widely viewed parades in the world. And this opportunity was bestowed without the band having to undergo an audition. Even rarer is that a sitting Lord Mayor would personally bestow this honor upon the recipient.
The office staff was all abuzz. The pomp and circumstance is not what we’re used to.
I mean, we regularly view teens traipse through the office in their camo jackets, fresh from a deer hunting trip before school.
I managed to Kinnear (think Yarn Harlot) her as she walked through the office…
Do you know how badly I wanted to whip out the Big Green Hat and ask her for a photo op.
I managed to restrain myself.
I’m not sure that even the hardiest soul in England could handle that hat.
