Staff away day

Yesterday was our annual Learning Centre staff away day. We've been planning it for months, and had the whole day based at Ashridge, including walking, a picnic lunch, rounders and afternoon tea in Aldbury. This idyllic day got nixed due to the continued rain so we ended up doing and egg and spoon race in the Learning Centre (it included having to take books off the shelves and put them back on the shelving trolley), a baby photo contest, pub-style quizes (including an appropriate one all about DDC), a shared lunch, and an afternoon of bowling in Hemel Hempstead. I wore my bright red (yes, a shocking departure from my Johnny Cash-esque work uniform of shades of black) Howies t-shirt that has "We're all in this together" in huge letters across the front. I thought it was a suitable message for the outing.
