Another wet day - -

- - its truly dreadful weather today - for people that is! The rain is hammering on the skylight in my office and I am just waiting for it to start raining in - I know it will, so I have the bucket already in position!!
Today is the last day before the students return to school - then it will be manic for days!! I do love my job! Seriously I do - it is so rewarding seeing our students turn into young adults to be proud of - and there are so many more of those kind of students than the "more challenging" ones I promise you! I am glad I am not a teacher though - I don't think I could handle the constant testing all the time!!

It is the end of an era for me this term - as it is the first time I will have no child at the school - my youngest has now left and is off to University. I think it might be strange for a while with no 6th Former popping her head through the door saying "mum - I need - - -". I am going to miss her so much.But hey ho - life goes on doesn't it?
Thanks for stopping by.

Wild weather

- - seems to have battered our shore this last week - and we seem to have had every season in one day on some days!!
I know that my island home is known to be windy - but we have never (since I came to live here anyway) had such RAIN.
The downpours have been frightening in their intensity! Water has been hammering on the skylights, both at home & at work, so hard that I was afraid the glass would shatter!
Yet it blows away as if he has never been - and we are again blessed with beautiful blue skies and scudding puffs of white fluff as the clouds skim across the blue.
The wind is shaking the tree tops and the leaves are falling in their droves - it seem autumn is already upon us and yet it feels like we have had no summer.
I am participating in Shimelle's Learn Something - - class again this year so here is one of the pages.
