In the last few days we have caught up with family and friends. We had a lovely few hours with Allan’s family on Friday. It was great to see Gladys, she will be 90 next year, and some of my sister and brother-in - laws plus nieces and nephews plus new babies. The Worrall clan is definitely growing!
The area is just the same but one difference was that one of the pubs we’d managed for a short time was now a temple! You used to pop in for a pint now you pop in for a prayer!
Yesterday I met up with a couple of good friends that I used to teach with. Both were really well but the talk about the expectations of teachers here made me doubly glad that I’d emigrated!
Kerry and I finally completed our ‘duties’ and completed the cake decorating and therefore earned our board and lodging!!
The weather has been quite reasonable, not too chilly and the sun has peeked through which enabled us to get out and about and head off across muddy fields for a walk! There has been heavy rain at night but it appears that a big storm is on it’s way! We think that Kerry might have a lot of snow when she travels to Newcastle on Tuesday.
I fly to Chicago tomorrow and have been told that there is lots of snow on it’s way there too! Oh well I did say that I’d like a white Christmas!
I do love England but each time I come back I know that I couldn’t live here.
