ReplyDeleteTook the liberty of passing on your blogsite to well-wishers in the ESOL staffroom who still remember you..(natasha, josie, jill oliver, jed)..we're here doing our course reviews..and your trip has been a welcom distraction from weeping into our keyboards..heard a rumour Bob might be joining you for a bit..make him swab the decks..Well keep your head above water and good luck, you lucky lucky bastard..
Ps I've just found your Glastonbury tickets circa 2002 in the English File Teacher Book upstairs..It rained anyway!
