A pint of Brains SA and Christmas cheer

I've just got back from the pub with my brother and had a lovely pint of my favourite beer...Brains SA. It was all very Christmassy and I bumped into a few people from the past whilst there. It's lovely to be back in Wales for Christmas this year, although I am very excited to be starting my new job at Swavesey Village College in January. After a few weeks of being in the classroom at Cottenham, I know that I am doing the right thing by returning to teaching....I just love it. The picture below is of one of the Year 11 groups on the last day of term this week. I used to teach them when they were in Year 8 and 9 so it was lovely seeing them again. Some people are wondering why I am getting so excited to be teaching Biology again, but it's what I enjoy doing the most, and of course it is the best subject to teach.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New year. 2007 is going to be a great new start for me and I can't wait. If you haven't been in Ely Cathedral yet, then this is their wonderful tree. Even after seeing all the amazing colonial builidngs in Mexico and Central America recently, this Cathedral is still top of the list.
