Well the time is drawing nearer for our prep visit for the student trip to Coimbra, only one more sleep to go.

A great meeting last week with students, parents, grandparents and staff, great to see and meet so many new people, and a chance for me to put names to faces, nice to see everyone happy and smiling.

Final meeting today for staff before prep visit, long list of questions to be asked - if you can think of anything you would like asking that you did not mention at the meeting please leave it on here in the message page and i will gladly ask over the weekend.

Bag/bags packed think i may need a camel or mule to carry it, trying to cover every type of clothing for every type of weather, plus camera's, mobile phone, netbook, sat nav, passport, EHIC and of course shoes - you can never have enough shoes - eek - forgot to get sun tan lotion high factor - I feel a quick trip to chemist or supermarket is needed.

Keep an eye on the blog this weekend, as I will be updating as we go but will of course let you know more information when we get back. A little newsletter will be heading your way before the trip, with more information for you.

Hope it is as warm and dry here is in UK this weekend as I am led to believe it is in Portugal.
