While the classrooms lay forlornly quiet at St Hearn's over February and March, myself and Sir S jetted down under to the Home Country to take in the tropics in the Far North of the country, sup at the ample vintner's Barossian bosom in the south, and to frolic at the beach and take in High Tea in ol' Sidonee town. Enjoy this selection of pics.
