Gosh - I am absolutely blown away by everyone's kindness on here, whasapp, emails, fb...it's fantastic!
I got into work and was given lovely cards and presents from Liz & Karen (they are doing intensive courses in August) and, much to my delight, 2 of my students from last year came in with a card and flowers for me.
I had a private message on fb from Raphael who was my student last year wishing me a happy birthday, and thanking me for being his favourite teacher( ) for helping him so much ( ) and that he'd just been notified he'd passed his B2 exam and was off to the USA for a year as an exchange student and feels really confident with his English. I was incredibly touched.
Craig & Jacob have both just phoned me and a massive bouquet of flowers was delivered this morning for me whilst I was out.
Conor bought me a bottle of my favourite perfume and gave me a card with a 50 euro note in it..to treat myself.
Don bought me my ticket for Simply Red, lots of little things and a fitbit..total surprise!
Conor & Don are waiting for me to finish typing this and they're taking me out for a long boozy lunch.
Don's taking me into Malaga for the feria tomorrow and I have the Simply Red concert on Thursday.
David's present is brilliant!!! It's a fold away seat for our yomps - whenever we stop to eat (which is alot! ) we end up sitting on rocks/stones that dig into our bums and isn't very comfortable. Eating will be the height of luxury now!
I also had the most beautiful hand made card sent from Di.
I feel totally overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and thoughtfulness. I am very, very lucky.
