Friday October 15th
Today was a restful day at home as Ann had gone to school. Tom was home so spent the morning chatting and looking at a Narrow Boat DVD he wanted us to see.
In the afternoon I visited a friend who had taught at Maidstone with me in 2001 but has retired early through ill health. We had a good catch up and chat about the good old days when we were at Maidstone Infants in Felixstowe.
In the evening one of the other teachers had gathered together nearly all of the staff who had been at the school when I was there in 2001 and put on a magnificent dinner for us all. It was a wonderful evening. One by one they are nearly all retired now and all doing a variety of interesting things. We all wonder where the time has gone but it some ways it just seems like yesterday. Teaching Exchanges are wonderful and it such a shame that they are no longer available to New Zealand teachers.
