Where am I now?

Taking time out from writing lesson plans and evaluations to update you on what's been happening in the past month or so!

Christmas day we went to church in the morning, Nan & Uncle Brian came to ours for lunch and then we all went over to Auntie Sue's for tea and silly games.

Over New Year, Michael & I went up to the Lake District for a few days, visiting Bowness, Windermere & Grasmere. New Year's Eve went joined Michael's parents & some of their friends from Uni, at a hostel (apparently completely in the middle of nowhere!) and then spent a reasonable amount of New Year's Day walking/climbing up to Red Tarn (part way up Helvellyn) ... in the hail, which was just lovely.
January 2nd, we explored Grasmere, visiting Dove Cottage which was the home of William Wordsworth and his family for a significant amount of his life. We also found the 'Jumble Room', which was just wonderful, so if you're ever in Grasmere, do check it out.
I then went home and spent a couple of lovely days attempting to work.

Since then, I've come back to Scarborough, written an essay, moved to Hull, written countless session plans (ok, about 13), taught those sessions, ... etc.

Anyway, I'm being picked up in half an hour to go back to Hull, so I'd better get myself packed, etc.
(I'll be out of contact online for 2 weeks... will check emails when I can).

You aren't getting comments! Neither am I. Shocking! So here is one free.
The Jumble Room looks lovely, but expensive! I love food,especially with a sense of fun.
Perhaps we can all go there again sometime on a merry jaunt to the Lakes? :-)
