January 2nd already and with Christmas and New Year behind us I will now start to make an attempt to recall our fantastic trip to visit Sarah and Stephen, as well as our tour of parts of the UK, Europe and Ireland. The past 3 months have gone so fast, being my busiest time at school and Chris at work but the wonderful memories of the trip have not faded. I will just recap the past few months then start our diary.
We arrived back in New Zealand on Saturday 9th October and straight back into work on the Monday. I recall being so tired in the afternoon, when reading to my class, that I almost fell asleep. Josh Nelson even tip-toed up to me to hear if I was snoring! A lovely boy with a great sense of humour (Christopher's Year 7 teacher's son). I had a fantastic Year 4 class last year, the best I have had for a number of years. I did enjoy my teaching, when I was there, in 2010.
We got through the term with only one hitch, when I slipped on the downstairs bathroom tiles. I hit my head on the door frame and did some rather nasty, but not permanent damage to my face. This resulted in me having another week off work back really didn't come right all term. Catching up now and my face is looking it's normal, aging self again!
Chris has been flat out at work as new expansions are being made this year, hence he will be in Germany February/March for training. He is not taking too much time off over the summer, just a couple of long weekends. One of these we are lucky to be taking a short Pacific cruise on the newly launched, refurbished ship 'Pacific Pearl'. Really looking forward to rest, sunshine and fun after our very full-on, but amazing trip.
We still relate to Wellington as one of the best places to live, but loved visiting 13 other beautiful countries and experience the individual cultures each has to offer.
To all our and family and friends very best wishes for a safe, happy and successful 2011!!!
