For We are Jolly Good Fellows!: December 2013

http://wearejollygoodfellows.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 7, 2013. Jumping out of a Perfectly Good Plane. James' (son) birthday is very soon, Lisa (wife) bought him a sky dive. As she couldn't be here, we were minding the kids and recording the event. So, what is it like - jumping out of a perfectly good plane? Here is the place to go . And of course there are forms to fill in and sign. And now his name is on the whiteboard - "James. T14" because he is jumping out (in tandem with an instructor) at 14 000 feet. Now we have quite a wait. And th...

Brisbane Master Class: December 2010

http://brisbanemasterclass.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Living in Brisbane city while doing our Masters at Wollongong. Saturday, December 18, 2010. Studies finished, time to head south. Despite the inclement weather . it rained most of the way as we drove to Orange (NSW) to visit our old friends S and C - with whom we also spent time with when we were in the UK. We spent three happy days with them in their country-style cottage, helping them look after three little girls. Lovely little spot to recover from the rigours of study and all that! We both got all cl...

For We are Jolly Good Fellows!: June 2014

http://wearejollygoodfellows.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 13, 2014. A new adventure starts - in Northam. So we don't really want to go to Ningbo. (Although they have offered us jobs - six weeks later.). Northam looks nice, though, doesn't it? And there might be some jobs there - or we could just kinda retire .). For some people living in a place like Northam in the wheat-belt area of Western Australia would be ordinary. But after everywhere we've been, for us it is another new adventure. So what's in Northam? And, of course, there is lots more!

Torquay Talkie: I Remember Sidmouth Beach

http://torquaytalkie.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-remember-sidmouth-beach.html

Teaching English in the seaside resort of Torquay on the south coast of Devon. Tuesday, December 11, 2007. I Remember Sidmouth Beach. It's been wet and windy and cold for about a week . well, what would you expect in winter in England? But then, suddenly, a sunny day! So we hopped in the car and went to see Sidmouth - our favourite summer beach spot back in the sixties. So there are really two beaches at Sidmouth. There's this one, the first one you come to. And in between - wonderful rock pools. Connaug...

Torquay Talkie: Great Little Town, Cullompton

http://torquaytalkie.blogspot.com/2007/12/great-little-town-cullompton.html

Teaching English in the seaside resort of Torquay on the south coast of Devon. Monday, December 10, 2007. Great Little Town, Cullompton. So then my brother John dropped in on his way from Germany back to Western Australia. So we went to have another look at our childhood home - Cullompton again. It's normal in these little Devon towns for the main street to be called Fore Street or High Street, but we found this amusing. I got to have another look at the church . Yup, there's the alley. And Roger Vey...

Torquay Talkie: Time to Say Goodbye

http://torquaytalkie.blogspot.com/2007/12/time-to-say-goodbye.html

Teaching English in the seaside resort of Torquay on the south coast of Devon. Sunday, December 16, 2007. Time to Say Goodbye. Not exactly what we were expecting . But then we didn't have a clear idea of what to expect. The quiet period of the year in teaching English as a Second Language has just past, and the jobs are coming on-line again. At the University of East Anglia, in Norwich. We start on January 7, so we have to get moving. University of East Anglia. View my complete profile. A Collection of T...

The British Job: Sussex - castles and churches

http://britishjob.blogspot.com/2007/11/sussex-castles-and-churches.html

Back to Britain after Australia, China and Turkey. Saturday, November 3, 2007. Sussex - castles and churches. Not only did Charlotte's family squeeze over to give us somewhere to stay, but Charlotte's mum, Susan - a very knowledgeable person in the local area, history and folklore - took us around a bit to show us some places. We went to visit this magnificent old church at Lyminster, quite near Rustington. On another day we went to Chichester. And come back later to find their car inundated. That side o...

The British Job: Nothing is brighter than Brighton

http://britishjob.blogspot.com/2007/11/nothing-is-brighter-than-brighton.html

Back to Britain after Australia, China and Turkey. Friday, November 2, 2007. Nothing is brighter than Brighton. Charlotte picked us up at Brighton railway station - bags and all squeezed into her tiny red car - and we trundled along the scenic coastal route (a decision we all instantly regretted as we were soon tightly traffic jammed). We paused along the way to have an actual look at the actual beach at Brighton. Not quite Bondi, though, ay? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our Websites for ESL.

The British Job: Rustington!

http://britishjob.blogspot.com/2007/11/rustington.html

Back to Britain after Australia, China and Turkey. Friday, November 2, 2007. What a delightful name for a little place in England! Charlotte and her mother and brother live in this tiny end-of-terrace home in Rustington. This was really our first taste of home life in Britain - it's all a lot more squeezy than we are used to in Oz - and this lovely family all squeezed over just a little more so that we would have a place to stay. But what has Peter noticed? What's the big deal? This was a very special me...
