Her school seems to be very good on the professional development front, and she is impressed with some of the support she is getting. her HT has already told her that she keeps forgetting she is an NQT, as she seems so integrated already ! ( I think thats a good sign). I too have everything crossed about workload initiatives, but then we have heard it all before havent we .xxJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449652020751269674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-77108670439329072412014-10-05T13:50:24.294+01:002014-10-05T13:50:24.294+01:00I remember struggling over the idea of having 2 ba...I remember struggling over the idea of having 2 bases, and your words were very helpful, about being at home, whichever home you happened to be in.

We both know she has a fight ahead of her.

I wish he luck and strength. It is coming up to 2 years for me ! <br />It was great to see Bolette and Carl being with you.... 34 yeasr...amazing.

She has stage 2+ breast cancer and they want to shrink the tumor before they do a double mastectomy early next year. She is a strong, positive, beautiful woman. My 8 year success is hopeful for her! Enjoy your last days in sunny France. One of these years we hope to see you there. Bolette and Carl (our first AFS'er; 34 years ago) are here for the week, encouraging us to make another trip to Spain in the future. Their home is in Almunecar in the South. Last September they walked the Camino...all the way from France to San Sebastian!!

This is what you've worked so hard to be able to achieve and what you fought so hard to maintain. Long may it continue!<br /><br />Like you we are fortunate to have happened upon a great bunch of people who have so quickly become friends.<br /><br />I hope that Jess is enjoying the challenges of her new teaching post. Hard work, but one of the very best professions. I'll keep my fingers crossed that teacher workloads decrease (in line with Tory conference announcements) but experience tells me not to hold my breath!! ;o) xx<br /><br />GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-67255257171818344172014-10-01T16:08:00.552+01:002014-10-01T16:08:00.552+01:00What a difference a year makes!

I was thinking too, that it was just a year ago that we came down to see you, calling in on Bibi on the way. The last year has flown by, and it is so good to feel so much stronger ! I recall feeling not 100% as my shingles recurred as we headed south ! Appreciating our lives is important I think, and recognising how lucky we are to be part of lovely families needs to be celebrated regularly ! Let me know if and when you are planning a trip back to the UK, and we'll do some joint celebrating !!!! xxxxxJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449652020751269674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-813508760521615422014-10-01T13:53:47.057+01:002014-10-01T13:53:47.057+01:00A lovely, heart-warming post, Janice.

It seems at the same time, just a moment ago, and ages ago! Proves that time flies but also that we have both packed a lot into the year that has just passed. Yes, you're right - life is good and I know we both appreciate that. AxxxArtyZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628693178003940118noreply@blogger.com
