I cannot forebear to tell where we are in our exciting building
project. Many will have noticed the web of steelwork arising to overlook
the Gransha Road and this will, at last, broadcast to the community the
scale of the new building. The steelwork will be complete by the end of
the month and we may see the roof on before Christmas. On a recent
visit to the site, I took childish pleasure in having my photograph
taken in the space where my study will be. One colleague
mischievously expressed the hope that the new open door policy would
still be in evidence after we have moved in.
We will move in February 2013, only seventeen months away. Detailed
planning has been going on for some time, given both impetus, and even
urgency, as the move becomes increasingly and incredibly imminent.
