Snow Days

A bit of an oldie today, a post from December, thinking back to our Winter Wedding: I couldn’t let today go by without mentioning that 4 years ago today me and hubby got married. If you’ve had a look at the weather outside today, this was what we had expected on our big day. Windy, rainy and cold!

I do it because I am lucky enough to work with a bloody fantastic group of kids, who make me laugh on a daily basis and when I’m feeling shit will always put a smile on my face. A few of my fave teaching moments: 1. On a residential trip with year 7 we had to clear the tables and chairs at the end of quiz night ready…
