I worked 39 years as a English teacher and never sought to increase my by giving private lessons. I was more than happy with my salary, and I treasured my free time. Only once – when I was teaching in England circa 1981 – did I tutor someone privately. He was a weak English student, so weak he was studying CSE English (now obsolete), not English ‘O level. As I recall, I took him on out of s Read on...

The plane rides were easy. This is the first time we had flown in First Class. In Starling tradition since there is a global pandemic there is no service in First Class unless you ask.
We were up at 4am to catch our 7am flight out of Tallahassee so all we wanted to do was on the plane so we werent worried about drinks or snacks on the plane ride. I did want a water and I thought that was kind of Read on...
The school and university years had ended so we set off for a two week jaunt in Thailand. We landed in Phuket and were driven an hour or so north to the small beachside town of Khao Lak. The coastal area around the town had been hit harder than any other parts of Thailand in the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. The official death toll was around 4,000, but the ever reliable Wikipedia reports that due to l Read on...

Its been fun this morning as like us, most of the other passengers are finding there way around the ship. We enjoyed breakfast in The Grill, a light and airy space with a great choice of food hot and cold & excellent service.
We found the specialist restaurants East to West (Asian cuisine), Coast to Coast (Seafood) & have made reservations for later in the cruise.
The lido deck was a little chil Read on...
On July 4th, Renee and I flew out of Baltimore for a 7 Day Arctic Adventure Tour. Iceland is a very unique place which I will tell you about over the next 8 days. You will find the narrative very interesting. We flew on Play Airline which was delayed in leaving for 3 hours. We missed our tour group on July 5th and needed to take taxi at the cost of $400 to catch up with our tour bus. Landing in Ke Read on...
We were supposed to have visited Corsica in the Med back in May but reared its ugly head just before we were due to leave New Zealand and of course we didnt even get onto the aeroplane to take us to Auckland and then faraway places.
Instead we traded our Air NZ tickets for flights to and from Christchurch and here we are Day One flying from Tauranga to Christchurch in the Air NZ Bombardier Q300 Read on...
The reason to Kingussie was to visit the Highland Wildlife Park but now thats ticked off, we decided we should see more of the place. Things to do include walking and biking and we dont have bikes, so a walk it was.
Theres plenty of walking markers dotted around, so Glyn researched online and found a short circular walk via Creag Bheag. A small chance of see red squirrels in the woods sealed the Read on...
C&M were heading back to Richmond today and we are moving to a slightly smaller Air BnB closer to Takaka for a further three nights.
We are hopeful that the rain isnt an omen of what is predicted in the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne areas as the weather system there appears somehow to be connected to the overcast skies here in Golden Bay.
We had a bit more time up our sleeves so were able to casual Read on...
