Tomorrow I head back to work after the 6 week break (groan). School doesn't start until next Monday (hurrah) but the staff are all in for what is know as Dev (development) Days. On the plus side it's going to be interesting to find out what training etc. they have arranged for us and of course it will be good to see everyone and catch up on their news.
Working in a school means my year not only goes from January to January but from September to July. Every September to me means new a beginning/fresh start.
Although I have enjoyed my days out over the Summer I did say 10 years ago that I would never go without a holiday in the Summer again and I wish I remembered that! I don't feel refreshed and ready to return to the daily grind. I'm still having trouble sleeping some nights thinking about work and feel cheated of that time where I can forget everything and relax. We haven't much money to spare hence the stay at home holiday but never again even if it means getting the tent out of the loft.
Anyone been watching the BBC programme Secret Britain? I have really been enjoying parts of the UK we don;t normally see. What I can't understand however is why would anyone tell the world their favourite secret place, do you? When we first heard the request on Countryfile one Sunday evening we exclaimed why would you as it won't be a secret for long. Thanks to those who did though. What do think?
Everything is quiet on the house selling front. 10 years I wait and the stupid recession gets in the way. The house next door has now sold so there is some hope.
Anyway last day and lots to do. James comes home from his holiday in France, lots of crafting ready for the Christmas Fairs and enjoy the sun whilst it's out in the garden which is very own my secret place. Thankfully I don't think the BBC would be interested in.
