This morning I woke at 6:00 and went straight away for my shower. I slept in an upper bunk and it was hilarious climbing down.... with a full bladder!! I met up with Gail for an early breakfast and we went in to the town at about 7:45. We walked. Around the town a bit along the river walk and then on to the cathedral. I loved the early morning light on this wonderful building that has so many special memories for me. We went unit the cloisters and finally returne...

I have taken lots of photos .... to bore you all!! The students appea...

This morning we woke early again and packed up. I enjoyed a good chat with the other staff about the changes at school. Everyone here seems pretty positive so it looks good. I think a lot of progress has been made in respect of people's attitudes. We have brought all our luggage downstairs and are waiting for Rob- very unusual.... he is usually here first so there must be traffic! Turned out we were half an hour early and there was enough traffic to make Rob w...
