I didn’t really know what a ‘Burns’ night actually was. All I knew was that i had to wear something tartan, and it was a dinner for the seniors at a high school about 50 mins down the road. But it was so much more…
Yesterday, I was coaching the first XI hockey boys in their first match of the season. Problem was, the school we were playing was at Arberlour, about four hours north of Crieff. So a huge bus journey for one match.
Just a quick note on how to navigate around all of my posts! In the top left hand corner, there is a ‘categories’ window. All of my posts will be arranged according to this. e.g. to see all of my nights out in scotland, click ‘Social (in scotland). Or, on the right hand side, there is […]
Today was my day off, along with Kat. Being in a foreign country, I was eager to get up early and start exploring. So, I got up at 11:00 (ha ha, did you actually think I would forego a sleep-in? – or a ‘lie in’ as they call it here). Kat and I decided to […]
Our next assignment on our day off (keeping in mind that we are poor gap students) was to raid every op shop (‘charity shop’) that we could find. Next week, us gappies are attending a ‘burns’ night at the local high school. It’s an informal dinner/entertainment at which all the seniors at the school attend. […]
Today one of the PE teachers was off sick. So, I was covering for her. I first took the form 1’s (7-8 yr olds) for two periods of hockey, then the form 2’s for two periods of hockey. Was then with the 5th and 6th form boys (again, hockey), before finishing off the day with the 3rd […]
Here’s some pics of Ardvreck, the amazing school that is now my home: From behind. That’s my little flat in the foreground, and the music school just behind that. In the background with the turrets is the school from the back.
After work yesterday, the gappies and Sara took me out for a celebratory drink. Unfortunately, the barman didn’t ask for i.d. 🙁 We went to the crieff hotel and had a few drinks, before heading back to John’s house (the guy I play volleyball with on a thursday night, and looks like Hugh Grant) for a […]
Thought it might be good to post a picture of the other gappies who are here with me: There’s kat, (on the far side) from canberra, chloe from armidale and joe from the hunter valley. They’re a great bunch of guys and we all get along really well. We chill out a lot in our special ‘gappies […]
