Christmas Update :D

I've left it a month but what better day to re post than...... CHRISTMASSSS :D :D :D

I hope that you are all having / have had an amazing Christmas, both in the build up, during and after the holidays, and I wish you the greatest of New Year Celebrations, with a wonderful start to 2012!!!

ME :D

As for me, lots is new :D I had decided that I was going to move to Wales and study for my masters, but somehow I just wasn't feeling ready to go back to studying.  Even finding the motivation to study for my TEFL had been difficult at times following from my degree, so I couldn't see it being the best point in my life to continue my education.  Instead.... I decided to move to Poland!!!

Merry Christmas :-)

I had been talking to a couple for quite some time near Katowice in South Poland, who really wanted somebody to not only au pair but also to teach pre-school English using the Montessori method in a school they have developed themselves.  It sounded so amazing, so only a week and a half ago I accepted this great opportunity and booked my ticket.

I am going to London for the weekend on the 6th January and on the 9th January will be flying out, hopefully for at least a year long adventure.  Who knows, maybe I will also be able to learn Polish on top of French. Who knows... maybe I will feel so settled there I will stay! For now, I don't know what the future holds but regardless it is very exciting!

I have also just been skiing (yes 2 weeks after getting back from France I went back for a week's skiing).  It was an...interesting...experience hahaha. Firstly there was a massive delay on the motorway meaning we almost didn't make the flight, then the flight was delayed. When in the air, the pilot decided we couldn't land in Chambery so ended up landing in Lyon, to then be transferred back to Chambery by bus (as it was on the way to the resort).  When arriving in Chambery, we found out that there had been avalanches on our resort and the mountain was completely shut off... Inghams had to put us all up in a hotel and as no other food places were open, had to buy us all (maybe 60 people) McD's hehehe.  Finally the next day we got up to the resort, but the pistes weren't open due to avalanche risked.... We may have lost a day's skiing and never seen blue sky (as the snow was persistent) but we still had great fun, some awesome wipe outs, and met some amazing people!!

The beautiful mountains!

I'm now going to go and carry on my Christmas celebrations whilst watching the new Harry Potter with the family.  Hope you are all incredibly happy and fulfilled as you prepare to bring in a New Year :D :D :D
