Not so blue January! Notts, home and my first weeks back.
New year, new me. Yes, it’s a cliché however it is totally true. I have gone from being just a regular Anna to Princess Anna and celebrity Anna. January has been fabulous. After a lovely 2 weeks at home in Bucks, seeing friends and all my family, I packed my life up again and headed […]
The life and times of an English teacher in Spain. Term 1.
