I'm Still Waiting

Still no news about when the trip might be rearranged. I'm fairly pessimistic about ever getting to Cape Town as I would not be allowed to go during term time and it is unlikely that LECT would want to wait as long as next Easter before the trip is rearranged. It looks likely that we will be given various date options and they will then go with the majority decision so that as many of the eight people travel as possible. Dates will be notified once the English Schools go back.

Our school is back now and so I'm extremely busy. Lots of new children to work with and lots of new things for us all to learn. Many of the new youngsters are an absolute delight. The S3 and S4 children who had prepared their profiles, pictures and video clips of themselves for me to take away were very disappointed that things had not worked out.

In the meantime, I have managed to go to various other events as some more consolation - a couple of Edinburgh Fringe Shows, The Tattoo (absolutely fantastic), the Book Festival and a really good exhibition of Islamic Art at the Chambers Street Museum. All well worth seeing. Sorry about the quality of the photographs, I should have taken my digital camera, but didn't because of the weather so had to make do with my 'phone.

The Swiss drummers were amazing, but I only have pictures of pipers and dancers.
