One hundred and fifteen...

...years ago, a group of nuns, the Daughters of the Cross, founded a school at Carshalton House in Surrey, dedicated to St Philomema. And today, a large crowd of women, all of whom had been educated at this school, met for a glorious lunch and celebration on this anniversary.

I have always been proud of being a Philomenian, and it was great fun to be lunching in style and meeting with people - teachers, nuns, people who had been in my year at school - and celebrating this special link that bound us together. A room had been set aside with tables of memorabilia - photographs, old copies of the school magazine, brochures from various events - and everyone gathered to pore over these and exclaim and swap memories...

The school has a website, which can be viewed here.
