HELLO!
well, finally the time has come for me to see if I can blog! My daughters both
tell me it is easy.. and I am learning as I go along!
First of all - why purple Ferrari? Well...I am rather a purpleholic, to put it mildly! I really do feel happiest in purple! And I tend to do things quickly, especially speaking! I think all of my poor students had to learn to listen very quickly in my classes! And also a Ferrari is fast, classy and expensive.....

Why
have I decided to try blogging? There are many reasons:
I am an English teacher and past examiner who has spent most of my life criticising and marking - so now it is time to see if I have any creativity! And I know any of my students reading this will be looking for missing commas, malapropisms, neologisms......!!! Have fun!
I resigned last year in order to pursue my dream - to travel right around the world and I am fortunate enough to be doing just that! I am writing in London right now! Panning this trip has taken lots of energy and involved lots of research and tracking down of friends around the world.
My main reason, however, is to prove that travelling to far-flung places is not only for young things with backpacks - a mature lady with a purple wheelie suitcase can also have adventures! And I am going to have many, I know! I am grateful to friends who are joining me along the way...and to those of you who are hosting me later on.
And finally, I am grateful to God for my many opportunities and for being with me every step of the way - I know that I shall never be alone on this trip!
Please come with me and share my experiences - I promise not to be boring or self-indulgent (please tell me if I ever do become like that). So many of you, my dear friends, have given me such encouragement that I am determined not to let you down.

Awesome ok Im learning how to comment! ha ha Looking forward to travelling along with you! Wish I was with you in person, something I've always wanted to do! But next time I head out I want to have a motorhome so my stuff is in one place, as last time I travelled for 6 weeks by the 5th week it drove me nuts living out a suitcase!

ReplyDeleteDearest lovely lady,
ReplyDeleteI'm back home in Australia now so I thought I'd check your blog out. Please blog some more. Looking forward to hearing the adventures.
Love the friend you made at the top of a volcano in Santorini xxx
