ST Peter's is a school with 'a vision', and a 'good neighbour'. It mortifies me to think I had the temerity to question the intentions of a school with the vision of a good neighbour.
What right have I to object to blocks of flats being built opposite my property, when I can feast my eyes on the verdant pastures of my good neighbour?
What right have I to look at sunsets, clouds, trees, and listen to birds singing when I can look at a lasting testimony to my 'good neighbour'- blocks of flats?
What right have I to object to constant shade when I can bask in the sunshine of my good neighbour's smile?
No doubt my good neighbour is a pillar of wisdom, a door to enlightenment, a window on the world. But we still do not want blocks of flats.
