Encore moi, he oui! La semaine a passé tellement vite c’est fou. Avec toutes les leçons que j’ai eu à préparer et à donner + les cours particuliers, je n’ai rien vu aller. Je ne sais pas si je vous ai parlé de mes cours particuliers… Bien, une ancienne élève de l’école a contacté ma tutrice le mois dernier parce qu’elle voulait rafraîchir son français avant d’aller travailler en Suisse. Donc, nous nous sommes rencontrées et je la vois 2 heures par semaine. C’est pas trop pire, en plus je charge £10 de l’heure. Mais ouf… on m’avait dit qu’elle avait besoin de pratiquer un peu, mais la vérité est plutôt que son français est inexistant. Je serais tellement paniquée si j’étais elle et que je devais aller travailler dans un pays étranger où je ne ... read more

Hello, This is going to be the start of my blog from Caton to India, China, Russia & Mongolia. I'm going to Delhi first for a couple of days.. then seeing the rest of India. .Its not very exciting at the moment but ill get some pictures of Delhi as soon as I get there. By kind to write some comments (Not you Bowker especially about me marrying a Russian internet bride). Well now I have the cards you never know. Only joking Anyhow after realising the extreme temperatures that might come to me (+35 in Goa at the moment just freezing Russia I'm looking forward to it). As well as looking forward to me first currie & lassie in India. Paul ... read more

Gday again everyone After the best shower we both have had since we have been here we decided we would go to Blackpool for the day. What a brilliant day it was too. Though for the most part the attractions were closed we had a look at the South Pier and then while we were walking to the Central Pier we hailed a horse and buggy and took that for a ride. A really nice ride... Central Pier had a few of their rides going and we went for a quiet ride of the large Ferris Wheel. I won Jules a Stuffed Tiger on the darts. We then went on to Madame Toussad's Great Grandson's Louis Toussad's Wax Works In the late 1890's Louis got a bit jack of the way they were running Madame Toussad's ... read more

We were up early again today and all packed before breakfast. We are going to spend the morning doing some washing before going on the 2 hour aqueduct canal tour. We finished the washing a bit earlier, the machines were better than in Hythe, so we went for a walk around the local market. Mark bought a tin of "anti-freeze" for the windscreen. I thought a plastic scraper like everyone else has, but Mr Tech wasn't going to go for the "old fashioned way".... LOL We'll see what it's like in the morning. We had a great time on the aquaduct. It took us 2 hours to go 8 miles, but I could easily live on one and cruise up and down the country. We went across the Pontcysllte Aquaduct which is the United Kingdom's tallest ... read more

Shocking news! My mother and father have been parents for 20 years! Anyways these are some photos from my birthday. It was so fun! Jon came up from Sheffield and we made dinner for our friends Amy and Hannah. We made a herbed rack of lamb(it looks moss covered in the photo), An amazing salad that even the sumanik family would enjoy! Roasted potatoes. I can't remember what all these things are called but they can all be found in Gordon Ramsay's Sunday Brunch. Amy and Hannah made me the beautiful triple chocolate cake. The next night Jon and I made ourselves a huge dinner of which there is no pictures to celebrate my birthday/our one year anniversary. Again I can't remeber the name pork tenderloin butterflied so it could be stuffed with sage and lemon, ... read more

It's New Years Eve and I have been home for 2 weeks. The sun hasn't been out once and beer is expensive. I've had enough. I'm going back to Thailand to cheer myself up. I have decided to go back out and do Divemaster on Ko Tao. If I don't do it now then I never will and will regret it for the rest of my life. I fly out on 14th Jan for 1 month, then its back home to grow up and look for a job. But before i do anything I have old friends to catch up with. I havn't been back to Northampton in over a year, and I have yet to meet Megan Dempsie, who was born while I was away last year, so I am combining the 2 in a ... read more

251 Hours and 15 minutes. No, it's not the title of an avant garde song or the catchy tagline of an epic war film, it's exactly how long I've been in the great United Kingdom. Thats right just over 10 days and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many things have happened . I've had two of my classes so far, Biology and Cross-Cultural Ethics. Both promise to be pretty badass. Not gonna lie, during the introductory week--Fresher's Week--there was a good bit of partying. I keep forgetting most of my flatmates and new friends are the US equivalent of Freshmen. It has been quite fun though. I have ridden a double decker bus and shopped at a Somerfield's (Hot Fuzz fans know what Im talkin bout!). I have also visited my very first castle! I cried, for it was ... read more

I am here...I am tired...I am quite ready for classes to start...and I am loving it!! Sooooooooo.....the journey started leaving Helena and getting to SLC...pretty bland actually. Then from Salt Lake to NYC on the biggest plane I have ever been on--The great Boeing 757. It had screens on the back of each seat....whoa....I didnt pay for a movie cause Im cheap, but I did play this trivia game on it that linked you up with anyone else playing on the plane, and I was consistently second. I even got on the high score list...whop de do. JFK was pretty uneventful except for one event. I almost got hit by a pigeon. Not my plane, not my bus, not even me hitting a pigeon...a pigeon hitting me. In the terminal. Freakin' weird. It flew by ... read more

Thank you all so much for your prayers, God is truly anwering them. So far my past couple days in England have been great. I Spent one night at my uncle's house in London, which was a really good time. I got to hang out with my cousin, Ben, who I haven't seen in years. I really enjoyed that; we went to the most real Italian restaurant I've been to yet and also went to a fair! At the fair and the restaurant I would forget I wasn't in North America until they would open their mouths. I love hearing the English speak! The bus ride to Capernwray was a good 6 hours including our 2 stops. I sat next to a girl named Amy who I met on the internet before I got here. We ... read more
