I have so neglected this blog over recent months but a gentle reminder from our web manager, Karl, has done the trick! So, what have I been up to? Well, I took on a contract to teach a Year 3 group in a delightful little school in San Pedro de Alcantara and that has kept me busy... very busy. It’s called Calpe International School and it is tiny. I have seven children in my class... made up of Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, Columbian, Mexican and English. Very interesting.

Well, I have been a lazy little blogger haven't I?? Two months gone by in a flash... I have been working very hard at the day job and driving hundreds of kilometers every week - and that is my excuse.

I AM new to blogging - this being my first. And with the challenges I was having at the begnning, first with dear old Telefonica and, more recently, with the weather, it has been a bitty sporadic. Also, I find that, having committed myself to writing a blog for the website I am not yet quite sure what format will evolve.

MY body is relaxed, my heart is at peace and my spirit is renewed.

Taking time to rest and relax is important to us physically, emotionally and spiritually. By giving our bodies the rest and attention they need, we find peace and strength within.

HI everyone - I came across this little story and I so enjoyed its message. So many of us feel a bit overwhelmed by the commercialisation of this time of year and it can be quite difficut to maintain a real sense of what the spirit of Christmas is all about. So, I decided to share it with you and hope you like it too.

WELL - miracles do happen! As of approximately one hour ago... I am WIFID? Wified? Difficult to get the spelling just right... but it means I am now connected... to wifi... to ADSL... to the 21st century!

Life is good. Onward and upward!
