Celebration?

A large and lively group of friends-colleagues, some of whom are pictured here, all met after school at Bizim Tepe, (first time since the terrorist attack on a local night club on New Year's eve); to celebrate and say cheerio to Robin and Carolyn who leave us for pastures new. 

I  realised at some point during the drink that I'd taught my last class this afternoon.  An art class with a particularly delightful group of Lise Prep kids, whose enthusiasm and artistic success has truly made them a joy to teach this year.  I'm sorry to see them move on. The end draws ever nearer.
