A delightful day!

This morning and afternoon have been pure bliss. At school, I've been teaching songs to several classes as preparation for an English Assembly event on May 17th. The children want to sing the moment I walk into their classrooms. It's hard to get them to do anything else. I've taught the Hokey Pokey to several classes and they love the movements. Others will sing Raffi songs: Tingalayoo, Big Beautiful Planet, Like Me and You, and of course Wheels on the Bus. Primary classes will do Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes of course. And the teachers love the songs too. Next I need to teach Square Dancing to the 8th form.

Then this afternoon, I had a great English lesson with Georgie sitting out under the trees in the yard. The temperature was in the 70's so after the lesson, I decided to sit outside and read a book. That's when host mom Valentine appeared with afternoon tea and candies. I couldn't believe it. A couple of hours of reading and sipping tea. I got out my camera to document a leisurely afternoon.
