I got woken up on christmas morning by my kids all excited to open their presents, i went downstairs to find post cards from my friends i'd made abroad over the years. There were ones from france,america,australia,china and ghana. I miss them all very much but we manage to keep in touch.
My parents were coming up from devon to spend christmas with us, i felt bad that they ad to travel such a long way since me and my husband live in north london but it's worth it.
The kids were very hyperactive after all the excitetment of openeing their presents and had to be told to calm down a few times, but their positive attitude was great and made it a great jolly, christmassy atmosphere.
i'm really not looking forward to going back to work because as much as i love helping kids with their problems and breaking the language barrier, some of the kids can have a real attitude problem.
