Welcome to our blog!

Hola! from a not quite so sunny but still alot nicer than where you are Spain.
The first thing to let you chaps all know is that we have arrived here safe and sound and are currently at the language school for a `edutainment´ filled day of Spanishness.
Students are today learning the vital social skills it takes to make the grade as a bonafide Spaniard.
The morning session is focused on talking loudly while waving your arms around and the do´s and dont´s of George Michael circa 1985 style facial hair.
After a short break to let off steam all the students will discover how to negotiate the social minefield of indoor sunglasses wearing. Even as I type a Tapas bar style assault course is being set up. To simulate the effect of expensive designer shades students will be blindfolded before attempting to wind there way through the tapas maze carefully avoid precariously balanced bowls of patatas bravas.

You will have no doubt noticed that I havent put any videos or photos up yet, the reason for this is because the language schools card reader is not working . This will mean that there is a slight delay till tonight when I can get back to my laptop at the hotel.
Check back later today when I will hopefully have some educational holiday gold for you all.

I will aslo pass on all messages left here to students and see about getting them on camera for a reply back. Thanks for all the messages so far and keep it up!

  3. Hi Becky and Sophie,You'll be pleased to know that Maggie the rescued field mouse is still alive and well. Adam was holding it but it got out of his hands and it took us 15 minutes to catch it again. Luckily we had just put the cat out. Sooty must be losing weight fast, she won't leave the cage just incase Maggie gets out.Its very funny watching her.Thanks for the text that all went well on the journey to Spain. Hope they find you a better bed than a hard sofa. Are you sure its not a fold out bed for you and Sophie. Hope theres plenty of wardrobe space for all the clothes you took. Enjoy the warmer weather. look forward to hearing from you. Love from Mum,Dad, Adam and Gran.XXX
