A Wonderful Summer

Farewell from Winchester 2017 Another wonderful summer of Discovery Summer Winchester drew to a close today, with our Week 3 students departing. The whole experience has been truly unforgettable, and it will be hard to leave behind some of the many new international friendships which have been formed here. Whether it has been during the Academic programme, the afternoon and evening activities, or on excursion, new memories have been created which will prove incredibly formative for all who were present at Winchester this summer.

Wessex? I can't stand him, said Peter. -You are maybe a duke, but you have to respect the Wessex family, muttered Theodora to him. -She was killed by a blow to the neck, declared Mepheistos after having examined the body. -Why would someone want to kill a little girl? asked Peter. -Maybe it was an accident, proposed Theodora. -I don't think so, the blow is too strong, responded Mepheistos. -We should ask the servants or her parents if they have seen something strange. The following day, the three friends went to the Wessex's castle. When they arrived, the Count Oscar Wess...
