Hi there, I admire you travelling and being a tourist on your own. The photos look great again. I think this is where your future lies - calendars, birthday cards etc. It makes me feel cold just looking at the ice but I agree they are some achievement. How different it looks at night with the candles! Waiting for the next installment.
Best wishes from Elaine xx
I'mamazed you never got the fish out of the sculpture and ate it, you little piggy. Hey Sandras got a good idea I bet Wesley could sculpt Eygpt no probs. Vicky needs somewhere to live maybe they could make her a house, she is at mine at the moment while we are trying to find somewhere. I went to see the midwife with her and heard my grandchilds heartbeat so weird hearing someone elses baby but lovely to know that it is well. I am going now to do my work. bye!
It's not fair I want to be there. The slides sound so much fun but I do have our mud slide in Forest Schools, if it snows I will be well away. I went ice skating with Rhys yesterday but the ice was to slippy for me, Rhys is fantastic now he can do some wonderful things but I got jealous because I couldn't do them. Holidays and still have to go uni lots of work to do for the end of April and then exams in may, I know how the kids feel now having to do SATS. When I have loads of money like you teachers do I will go to Japan in Feb. Anyway essays need to be done speak soon love Helen
Hello Heidi - just been catching up on all your news since the New Year. The snow and ice festival looks absolutely wonderful! Makes me wish I could have a go - especially on the snow slide. It's half-term here at the moment - frosty in the morings but dry and sunny during the day. Sorry, have not been in touch. Have been reading your blog though when I can. Congratulations and well done for getting top marks for your teaching Thanks for all the super photos you send with your blog - I quite often call either Terry or Katie to come and have a look. Make sure you cram as much as you can into your remaining time in Japan. Love from Lesley x
Wow how fantastic.What a sight in life form.Its a wonder your friends didnt go with you.The nearest i have to snow are the snowdrops in my garden,they do look good now.The patience you need to sculpture ice like those.Trace and Helen need blocks of ice for children to have a go in forest school.x
Hi again i thought you were going to say you were cycling in the wrong direction.Pics are good not a piece of litter in sight.It has been cold here and lots of rain,ducks could swim in my garden last month.Cake fairy sends her love She will catch up when her computer is fixed.Hols for us next week.Wales beckens.Our anniversary tomorrow but we are celebrating at the weekend.Must go-in need of coffee xhave fun
I still cannot believe how everything looks so beautiful over there. I also partied this weekend my stepsons 21st, it was a good night even better when his mates couldn't believe I was his stepmum, they said I didn't look old enough oh well some of us have it! Its really cold here so I can sympathise with you I think it will snow at easter. Bye for now love helen xx
Can't be bad - mixing tourism, dancing and food - all the things you like. Have you been back to the hip-hop? Even I have been feeling the cold to-day! Had the Romans in visiting. One of the kiddies asked if they were real Romans - I said ' From 78A.D.? We'll soon find out.' I think they realised I was joking!
Carry on having a great time. Elaine
Zebra thats a new one.You will never get used to being back here a normal life again no celeb.Sudjat and Wesley asked about you today cant remember lessons but remember you.Fancy meeting person who took your job.It would have been much too quiet for you.x
Hi thats so wierd because katie dresses like a zebra also. only this morning i was asking her where her zebra top was. fancy having mobiles at 6 what will you do when you come back here and your not famous anymore. rhys is going dol-y-moch in may and sandra is right jacob looks such a cutie in his glasses.bless! having an early night tonight coffee then bed for me got forest school tomorrow bye for now love helen xx
Hope you enjoyed your dinner.When you come home you will be used to eating out you wont want to cook at all.It is Carls birthday todayso we went there tonight Jake looks so cute in his glasses.The girl does sound a bit odd but what do you expect knowing you.Time for bed see you x
Seriously worried about you mate! it will kill you when you come back to england to teach. how will you manage a whole week working? The girl sounds freaky try walking out the room every time she walks in. a woman at uni is driving me mad, has all these opinions but doesn't listen to anyone elses. she asked me question and when i was answering her she turned and spoke to someone else i was fuming and the people on my table knew it as i slammed my things. my step son is moving into my house in the next week or so. get rid of one gain one. Vik is really big now i felt the baby move last week not long now. you should go ice skating my Rhys goes every week he loves it. homework calls be good love helen xx
Yeh come on show us the video! That dress is way too short Miss Price. I wud expect nothing less than full marks Well Done! I am just about to hand in my first essay for uni soooo scarey! Adam Os told me today his dog got divorced from his mum and has left the house and the adams family have a pet spider it came in the bedroom and won't leave. There loopy nothing changes. Have fun keep eating Luv Helen xxx
Well done you ,I know you wouldnt settle for anything less than excellent.Did your singing drive everyone away!!only joking.It looks like your having great fun.Most of our class were at forest school this morning so we had 6 in class.How quiet it was .Your still riding the bike then or is it falling off while under the influence.Difficult in that jumper i fear.Take care xWould love to see the video.
Hi there, I've been looking out for your next entry - was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms. Glad you had a good time while back home. Obviously breaking you back in slowly to work!No suggestions about food - I'm having problems my self in that department ( too sweet a tooth).
Happy New Year to you and make the most of the 4 months left - which I'm sure you will.
Elaine.

Take care love hel xx
Hi hope you had a great christmas and have a happy new year.It will be good to see family and friends again.I hope the new year brings all you wish for luv x
Hi there,
I would imagine you're home now having a well earned rest from the hectic life you've been leading. How long a holiday have you got? Tracey, in New Zealand, was telling me the children over there have their holidays from November to end of January. That's something I wouldn't mind but the down side is I don't think they get the half terms. Anyway have a good holiday with the family and friends and I wait for the next exciting installment.
Happy Christmas and I hope 2008 is kind to you.
Hi Heidi
Its seems like you have been gone a long time to me. You have made the most of the opportunity. One more day to go! Yeh! I am really looking forward to this holiday. Loz won free tickets togo ice skating so me, Rhys, Tracey and Tasha went. It was fun but our feet hurt now.
I hope you have a wonderful xmas and enjoy the food. As far as dreams come true I think your already there.
Have fun with the family Love Helen xxxx
Oh great I look a complete plonker sitting here laughing at a laptop. Mrs santa sooo funny!The hair looks wonderful by the way. You have respect of teenagers Well Done. Not long and you will be home. I don't know where you get the energy from because we are all exhausted now just want Friday to come.
I can't believe we are running around like loonies and your school is so relaxed. Don't you adopt a child whilst in the grotto. Eon came out today it was amazing we now have a tyre tunnel, rope slide, veg patch, hedgehog home, rockery and loads of plants. if you were here you wouldn't beleive what we done in a day. In Jan we have farmers coming out. i have now wrote my intro for my essay.it is all go. love helen
Hi there - hip hop and now Scottish reels - sumo wrestling and photography!! Where will your talents take you next? Just think of the new world of opportunities awaiting you when you get back!! Keep having the fun.Elaine
Hi I have decided i'm going to Japan for a rest. we had our last uni session tonight but have to write a 2000 essay by january. school is mad lots going on. my calendar is full every week. I am tired i want barbie and wine and hair done.oh talking of hair emma won a foot spa, free hair do and £20 towards beauty treatment at the xmas fair. of course she was very quiet about it no big deal and she hasn't mentioned it since. but i do know that she will have hair done before xmas and have a facial after xmas and her feet feel lovely. have a fab weekend love helen
