I'm back



The bar at The Queens Head (double click to enlarge the picture)
This is outside the Queens Head




Sorry for the lack of posts on this site lately.


I have not forgotten about you all. I sometimes neglect things out of laziness but this time I have been busy making a kids English programme. Making textbooks,flashcards and games. My eyes have been tired with looking at the PC monitor so I didn't feel like using the computer so much.


I have almost finished the book for the first year.
Satisfied? No. I donot have any students to use it yet! (smile)
This Wednesday's class will be at the International Lounge at 10:30.
Tom Cruise cannot attend this week so I will be there instead.


I found this picture the other day.
It is of the bar at The Queens Head pub in Hawkshead at Christmas.
Hawkshead is a lovely village of old houses in the Lake District.
I dropped in there for a beer last year.


It was magical!


People often ask me what I miss about my home country.
I'd have to say "country pubs"


If you were an expatriate (a person living in another country),
what do you think you would miss? (not family or friends as that goes without saying)


See you all soon


I will also add some pictures of Hawkshead.But you already saw them,didn't you?

Hello Eri.
I do hope your skin condition has improved. It must be troublesome for you. There were only 3 ladies at the class yesterday. They chatted a lot. There is a new attraction to the class!! No. not Tom Cruise. There is a coffee break!!
Take good care and see you soon.

You are tea-total?!!!
I am afraid Oolong tea has not reached the English pub yet.
But there are non-alcoholic drinks available.
I have always preferred to mood of the pub to the alcohol or food.
Although I must admit ,there is nothing like a cool pint when you are thirsty after a long walk.
Be good
Nick
