Hi everyone! Well, I have arrived safe and sound in Swindon and am half-way through my second week of teaching at Greendown Community School. The kids are pretty cool and the staff are extremely helpful and supportive.

I had a fab time in Ireland for New Year with my Irish friends (Barbara and Gary) and Talei. We stayed at their place just out of Cork city and then went to the Dingle Peninsula to see the New Year in. We saw gorfeous and rugged coastline and drank some pints of guiness- as you do....

Swindon is an average town, but I am living in a lovely area and the shops etc are good!

Hope you are all well, I am off to Paris with Talei this weekend, so will post you some info from that trip soon.

Miss you all.

Much love

Hi everyone, the aim of this BLOG is for me to keep in touch with you and vice versa while I am exploring the sights and sounds of Swindon and wider Europe in 2007. I look forward to hearing your news and sharing mine.

Take care everyone
