Jared and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Lilly and her wonderful family. Ni Ni (Rose), Yi Yi, Lilly and Ben have been great friends to us while we have lived in Shaoyang and we have eaten many a delicious meal at their very lovely apartment. They are a very warm and accommodating family whom we have adopted as family while we have been here.

More pictures added. Trip to Chengnan park and funfair with Mia and relaxing by the river after a bike ride.
After recently conducting a feedback survey at both schools I have taken a photo of a sample of papers to try and convey the scale of the job and some of the fantastic feedback comments we have both received. 98% (1200+ at each school) awarded 10 out of 10 with some really fantastic remarks. Thank you all very much. What a great job! :-) Left the apartment yesterday ready for school, well at least I thought I was. Mel had already gone and taken our only front door key so as usual I performed my daily check procedure before leaving. Memory stick - check. Spare memory stick - check. Timetable - check. Phone - check. Wallet - check. Water - check and today Camera - check. Yep, got everything. Left, shut the door behind me and started shuffling down the hall. Shuffling? Why was I shuffling? Oh No! I still had my slipper on. HELP! Panic... stop, compose and think. I had 15 minutes before my lesson started, 10 mins to walk to school and no shoes on. Can I wear my slippers to class? No. Can I go barefoot? No. I'll buy some shoes. I checked my wallet and I had about 120 RMB. Not enough. More panic. Not enough time to get the key from Mel. AAAGH! I turned to the local shop outside the school gates, FlipFlops! Really? And then I found my resolve... A pair of Crocs, in black and my size for 17RMB. Saved. Phew. I'm not happy, slightly stressed but at least I have an answer. Fortunately only three classes today. Got away with it. Too scared to take my shoes off in the apartment now...
Its photo week and Mel has already taken and loaded all her classes onto the website. My turn with the camera this week.
