yo ho ho bah humbug.... AND ALL THAT JAZZ
School broke up on Thursday 17 December Yee Ha. On 18 December I got a cold and flu So what's new there then at the end o term?? But not to worry I don't go off on my travels until 28 Dec so I got time to recover.
YIP -It's a girly holoiday to Delhi and Rajasthan Look it up yoursels. It's the north o India. I'm told it's going to be very cold Watch this space I doubt it'll be as cold as East Anglia just now.The four girlies will be yours truly, a German girl, an English lassie and an Irish wifie. Should be fun slagging the English-just kidding
End of term was a typical school end of term with all the Christmas festivities. Added to all the parties and Carol Concert was a farewell party to all those who were leaving at Christmas. This was mainly IG's. If you remember I originally applied to be an IG -and International Guest -volunteer for six months. (Could be home now I thought to masel) The IG's are generally young students who have taken a gap year or who are just about to start uni. We had 8 IG's with us this last six months -mainly from the southern hemisphere but we did have two Welsh boys. After Christmas all the new IG's are from the UK None from Scotland but there is one girl from Ireland. All the rest are from Englandland
It is winter here now and it is getting colder at night time. It's not like our Scottish winter tho. During the day it's no too cold- All I really need in terms o warm clothes is a fleece and sometimes no even that.
Christmas Day lunch will be at school There are about 80 staff and kids around on Christmas Day (adults and staff kids) Hopefully it will be fun.
Will write a long news epistle for you after my travels Added some photos to relieve the boredom. First pic is the giant German and Irish Rhonda -three of the four going on holiday to Delhi and Rajasthan. One of Rhonda on the bike on a typical winters day in Ooty. The other is o some radgie in Indian dress at the Christmas Dinner -one with a real Indian and te other with a fine young Scot who is here at school
Thought you might get round to some news and you look well in the photos.

Hi Rosy
ReplyDeleteDon't collapse with shock but receiving your Christmas card today (Christmas Eve) has prompted me to go to your website for the first time. You have secured a first for me as I have never been on a blog before.
Your blog and the photos are great. I am glad that you enjoyed Kerala as it is so beautiful and of course warm. It is freezing cold here and we are cocooned in snow. It looks like it will be a 'White Christmas' tomorrow. Hill's the bookies will not be pleased.
I forewarned you that India is a culture shock. However you seem to be coping (nae - thriving) with everything. I am sure that you will love Rajasthan and hope that you manage to visit Udaipur, Jodphur, Jaisalmer as well as the 'Golden Triangle' of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Enjoy!
We will drink a toast to you tomorrow and at Hogmanay. Wishing you a very healthy and happy 2010,
Love
Gwen
