When I returned from my holiday in the Gili's, I had a new housemate as Chrissy had left to travel then return home to California. My new housemate was Roselle and she is from the Philippians, she is so lovely and very chatty, which is great as it is so nice after a busy day to sit down and chat and have a laugh together.

Well what can I say it is a tradition to have pancakes in England on Shrove Tuesday (well in my house anyway), so there was NO way I was missing out on them when I was on the other side of the world. It worked out perfectly as it was my class assembly on the Monday, so my children presented to the rest of the school about Shrove Tuesday and were really cute as they did so and made me very proud to be their teacher as they sang and presented the information. ...
