Easter week and it's holiday at last!

Greetings devoted readers, friends and loving family,
First off I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, and didn't eat too much chocolate!

Well I know, I have been a bit busy (not lazy) and so that means no post for a while...sorry really, I have been meaning to write again soon!
So I started my holiday friday night with a wonderful visit from Hana Bloom and her mother Robyn. Hana and I went out to a local pub with some of my co workers and we rolled back in about 4am after having a wonderful night out. All my friends loved Hana and wished she could have stayed longer.
Hana and her mother left yesterday after having an amazing Easter brunch with my house family in Tyndale, it was sda to see her go but we had a great two days together. On saturday, I unfortunatly didn't meet up with Shelly and Molly (molly was sick and they didn't my correct phone number) Molly I hope you feel bettter!!

Instead I went on a mini adventure with Hana nad her mother to Gloustonbury, the resting place of King Aurthers bones and the Tor. It was such a cool day and we had a blast exploring the old Abby, climbing the hill to see the Tor, watching the sunset, and going photo crazy together, it was a brilliant day! Mum don't worry I know you want to go to Gloustonbury as well and I want to go again and now I know my way around a bit!

now I need to rewind a bit because I have a whole week to talk about, I might as well start from the beginning!
Sunday:
We had a lovly Palm sunday walk with homemade bread cockrels on the top of our crosses. It was a windy day but we were lucky and it didn't rain!
Then we all came back for Easter cookies and hot chocolate at Halliers with some Sinning later, lead by Syl.
Then Monday was a normal schoolday, but with a special morning asssebbly.
Tuesday was the same also with a morning assembly.
Wednesday, Morning assambly and normal school day again.
Thursday was when things got a bit more interesting, it was the day of green. So for lunch we had a green meal and the table was decorated in beautiful plants (of green) and it was ful table that day, lots of pleaple for lunch, including myself. I only got a partial day off because it was the last week of school and lots needed to be done. Then later that day we had a beautiful reflective sielint supper with the whole school and all the houses. It was a magical 40 minutes, of wonderful sielence. Even my little friend Martin was quiet it was great thing to witness.
Then friday was not a normal school day, insteaad we had easter craft in the houses, followed by anoth assebly and some Gardening. Then for lunch we ahd a special white lunch of fish, rice and some yummy white sauce. Then rest hour, followed by making hot cross buns with our children, then Bella's mum came and last were Martin's parents, who kindly stayed for buns and tea, it was a lovly afternoon.
We all took a deep breath a exhaled after they all left, we at last were free for three weeks! Yes we know we will miss them, but we are all so excited about holiday time.
So It's Monday afternoon and I'm planning on doing some cleaning and preparation for my family that are comming tomorrow then next Tuesday the 1st of April. I hope you all are going to fit, I'm working on finding one more matress...I'll give you an update soon!
I'm impossibly excited, I feel I might burst from pure joy any moment.
Well I leave you all with some photo's from the past week:(enjoy)











P.S. did I mention I'm blode again? :)

Ilaria
P.S. only seven days till I sse my mum, brothers, aunt and cousin!!!

just a small update...and it's been almost six moths.

greetings my fellow readers,
well I know it's been almost three weeks since my last post so I thought maybe it was time for a mini update.
To start with, I'm doing very well and looking forward to my Easter holiday that in 16 days!! More than anything I'm looking forward to my family that will arrive during my holiday. My Grandparents arrive on the 25Th of March and I get to visit Scotland with them (whoot whoot!) then on the 1st of April my Mum, two brothers, aunt and cousin arrive and stay for about two weeks. I'm counting down the days and looking forward to the fun we shall have.
Things here at Sheiling are going as well as they can and I'm having a wonderful time with all my co workers and children. Life in Tyndale is as active as ever and we are slowly outing the house in order (It has not been lived in in almost three years.) We just got new cups and we are expecting new dishes soon, Phyl our cook is slowly improving as well although I think we make better food on the weekends when she is off.
Working with Martin Bruse is also slowly getting better and will continue to (I hope! At least that's when they tell me)I work with him two days a week now, Wednesdays and Fridays and they can be stressful but really nice as well, it's hard to stay mad at him for beig cheeky, I really just love him to bits.
Also recently lots of old co workers have been visiting, so it's been interesting hearing about the past and meeting new people.
Last night we celebrated Anna's Birthday, she is 20 now and we had a great party, even Heath was there!

I have also started going for early morning bike rides to Olbury, I haven't made it to the church yet, still waiting for it to get lighter in the mornings so that I can leave the house by 5:30 or so allowing me enough time to get there and back by 7 to get ready for the day. It's such nice thing to do, I always feel energized afterwards and I'm ready to start my day in a good mood.

Joeseph Has not been here for about three weeks and his mother says he may not come back, and he may come back after the holiday in April and move to Thornbury Park and Daniel will be his co worker because Noel is leaving. Noel is 18 now and has been placed in another type of school down near Devon, he leaves at the end of next week sadly, I will really miss him. Also there are two new students Jamie he is in class 7 and a day pupil in Thornbury Park and Sean who is in my house and in class 4, I look after Sean on Monday's a Tuesdays, he is very cheeky sometimes and not always easy to handle (I'm slowly getting to know him.)

Well I wrote far more than I intened but I'm sure for you readers it's not too bad!
Well stay tuned and I'll write more soon!
cheers and well wishes to all.
Ilaria

P.S. I can't believe it will be six months on the 15th!
