A Hasty Ramble: February 2007
http://ramblingoaks.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Karen and Mark's blog while they are teaching in England. Sunday, February 18, 2007. How was our holiday? The first few days of our mid-term break were spent in Hastings being completely lazy and not being old and teacherish as planned. Now that we’re back and starting school again tomorrow we are beginning to regret spending a few lazy days in London having a grand ol’ time (well not really but I’ll pretend that we feel bad to make us at least look old and teacherish).

Karen and Mark's blog while they are teaching in England. Monday, October 30, 2006. My Love affair with Hastings. After my vast travelling experience of England (ahem) I've decided that I’ll always be married to Sydney, but when it comes to matters of the heart I can’t help whom I love. My current little fling is Hastings and I’ve listed just some of the things I love about this place:. The Pubs- this makes me sound like a bit of an alcoholic but the fact is that there are more pubs in Old Town Hastings ...

A Hasty Ramble: March 2007
http://ramblingoaks.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Karen and Mark's blog while they are teaching in England. Thursday, March 01, 2007. It's hard to believe that it's the 1st of March and exactly 6 months to the day that we started our stints as teaching staff in Hastings. There's actually a lot of firsts at the moment: first day of spring (still feels like Australian winter) and more importantly our first day back at school after two highly stressful days of OFSTED inspections. At this point you're probably thinking "What's OFSTED? I think I've been pret...

Karen and Mark's blog while they are teaching in England. Friday, May 11, 2007. To tell you the truth Germany was not on my must see list of destinations. Why? I mean what is that? Holstentor Town Gate in Lubeck dating back to 1478. He had also brought along his girlfriend Conny with him who we had heard heaps about over the years. Lucky for us, they could actually read the train timetable and had anticipated our arrival time. Check out the lean on this one. Burgator Town Gate, Lubeck. Its a Musical Life.

Karen and Mark's blog while they are teaching in England. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. On the East Hill looking over the 'Old Town'. Well we have arrived in Hastings now and are staying at the very lovely little Lavender and Lace guesthouse. Which is really quite little. Even I sometimes hit my head on the door frames. It's also 500 yrs old. We are still finding our feet here in England but school starts next week so we're pretty excited about that. Posted by Karen @ 9:15 pm. Monday, August 14, 2006.
