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!
