I apologise that my blog is not yet up to date! Special apologies to Olwen who is still waiting with baited breath for my account of the performance of Jamie Bamber in Dr Faustus (or perhaps she has given up on me…). Rest assured I will get up to date with that and other things such as my visit to Crufts Dog Show, a visit to the Tower of London, my Easter day trips to Blenheim Palace and Dover Castle, my first taste of an English nightclub: The Pink Toothbrush (!?) in Raleigh, and my most recent visit to the theatre to see Kevin Spacey and Mary Stuart Masterson in National Anthems.
But for now you will have to be patient with me! I leave this afternoon for my two-week holiday to Ireland. I am driving to Holyhead today and catch the ferry to Dublin tomorrow morning. I will spend a couple of days in Dublin, a day in Mountmellick, two days in Galway and then will spend a day visiting St Joseph’s Secondary School in Spanish Point, Clare, which is my school’s (Clare High School) sister school. From there I will drive to Kilarney to join my Peregrine walking tour through the Ring of Kerry. It does look like I will get to use the waterproof pants which were in the ‘Very Important’ part of the recommended gear list! Oh joy!
I promise all will be updated soon after my return!
I’m still here …. waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.
Am thoroughly enjoying reading your indepth adventures compared to my amazingly rushed compact adventure, and that you have discovered the world of B&B’s. They are fantastic. Glad to hear one of your first stops is always a TIC for maps – they were mine too!
Well, I’ll continue to wait to hear about Jamie.
(For crying out loud woman would you hurry!)
Oops… did I type that out loud?!
😀
Oooh, I spoke to Jamie on the phone for about 30 seconds from Collectorama 7. BP rang me and handed the phone to Jamie!! *Thud*
Go read the forum!!! I just had to tell you this, of course!
*does a little dance*

Hi Rose,
It’s Cecily Calaby. I went to Japan with you and used to teach at Clare High. I am curretly looking for an exchange to the UK and have not had any luck. If you know of anyone that would like to come to Immanuel College, SA next year (2006), could you forward my email address? I would then like to go through LECT to organise the exchange if that is possible. I teach Middle School English, SOSE, Drama and Religous Studies and have also taught PE. I can teach Year 11 Geography and English and have experienced this. Also, Immanuel is a an IB school if that is of any help.
Keep having a great time in the UK!
Cecily
