Rishi Sunak, Time to make History! Let’s hope our new Prime Minister, graduate of Winchester College, can successfully tackle the many huge challenges we all now face. If so Winchester will return to its rightful place in the history books.
A long while back (in ‘PLANT A TREE for seventy three year’!) while visiting a school in the city to talk about tree planting I saw in one of the classrooms the tourist office's poster, a fine view of the cathedral and above it in large letters:
WINCHESTER Where History Was Made
To this the children had added their own words so the poster then read:
WINCHESTER Where History Was Made
AND WILL BE!
It’s been too long a wait. Those children will now be nearly 60 years old, and the trees they planted huge.
