So I finished my ten week maternity cover in Year 1, with relief due to a tricky group of kids, but could celebrate my wins as their teacher for a short period. I had a lot to keep me busy in the absence of work until the end of the school year in June, namely, packing up our apartment and our life after 5 years in Shanghai.
After enjoying the summer holidays, in wintry Australia, we are now settling in to our new home in Düsseldorf, Germany. All going well so far and the kids were due to start school tomorrow leaving me to finalise the house set up... but last Friday, I have accepted a job teaching Grade 3 at their school...
So Hi Ho, Hi Ho - it's off to school we all go in the morning!!
