Thursday today so one more day of school (for us both), oh, oh,
You have holiday ayeeeee I am the only one still at school!
Plus + I have lesson on Saturday anyway!
Saturday, one week before landing at Manchester,
Meeting your aunt and driving north.
A week to meet
Up with you,
And mommy, and Teddy.
And nanny and aunty and uncle and who knows who else.
Will the weather be good, do you think?
Walking in the rain sounds fun
Until the water runs
Down your neck and into your shoes.
Here Ihave an exciting day tomorrow,
I move house! Well . . .
Sort of!
I have got a new apartment.
It is directly above my apartment now.
It is the same size and has the same things in it.
But . . . instead of a dark and dismal wall
It has a large and light window.
My view is the school building to the left
A new apartment building to the right
And somewhere down the middle a vista of buildings and green and hills.
From where I will sit (beside the window)
They look like hills, but if they were outside of your window they would be
Mountains!
If you put Scafell Pike on top of Ben Nevis,
These mountains would be higher.
The other day I went to a big hotel (Ghiom)
area in town and enjoyed the gardens, and then yesterday I went with some students from my school to a nearby local school to help teach English.
Does those classrooms look like yours? No? Nor mine!
We are lucky :-)
