Stu and Rachel headed over to Hastings on June 2nd. We spent a delightful two hours at lunch at Sommerset on the Orchard Café with a group of Old Boys that meet there on the first Thursday of each month. This day there were seven of them at lunch and we again enjoyed listening to their stories of school life as well as catching them up on school life now.
