Whenever I hear you talking about your teaching over there I always see you like "Goodbye Mr. Chips". Long gown and cap, welcoming the students as they file past and state their names. Sitting up front on the stage as the headmaster addresses the students at their first assembly. hehehe.

Thank you for the apology.
I don't remember you being ejected, but my memories are kind of fuzzy. If I was responsible, I apologise.
Sometimes, things get emotional in the virtual world. However, over the years on Tamson House, I have met some wonderful people. Heck, I married one of them and moved to another country for him. (Yes, we're still married. 9 August ends my 14th year of living in England, which amazes me. I've been here that long? Really? :) There have been occasional falling outs with some people, just as happens with people we see in the flesh every day, but I still care about those folks and hope to mend any rifts.
For me, I have just under three weeks left on my summer holiday. I return to work on Thursday, 21 August, GCSE results day. I'm still teaching A levels at a Further Education (FE) college nearby and am trying to deal with the changes to A levels happening in a year. Whilst we don't start teaching until September, we go back to campus starting on GCSE results day to welcome and enrol the new first years. (I'm also amazed that this September marks my 32nd year of teaching.) This means that I've been off work for 2.5 weeks. Whee!!! I've been focusing on reading (for fun and for work), sewing (mostly real life clothing, not medieval garb at the moment), gardening (major weeding and hedge trimming, and we've both been working on trimming the golden greengage tree -- it's overgrown; we've already gone after the part threatening the property fence and the neighbour's shed and we're now working on the bit threatening our house), house cleaning and painting --
exterior window woodwork and the garage door. I'm taking advantage of being off work whilst there's lots of sunshine.
