Well HELLO there! And nice to see you... It's been a while. I have missed you!
Be sure to watch my first video update (which is at the bottom of this blog) -  I am quite technologically challenged at times, so I am very pleased to have learned how to edit videos.

Life has been busy, as it often is for many. I am afraid that blogging fell by the wayside for a while. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am a teacher. What I failed to mention is that I care an AWFUL lot about my work, the achievement of the students and the quality of teaching. This year I have been Co-ordinating year 11, making sure that they get the best possible results. I am so proud of what we have achieved so far this year, and I am already looking forward to seeing the results that many of our lovely young people get in the summer. This has taken a lot of work so I have been prioritising work for a while.


But, I know that I also need to make time for some FUN! So... I have been training (cycling). A little.

I also have been getting more into Yoga to supplement my cycling. I especially loved my stormy Yoga session on the beach a few weeks ago. So energising! So far I have noticed increased flexibility and strength in my back and legs in particular. Also, it is a great way to relieve any stresses of life. But more about Yoga later!

Facing the storm

A balance

Other times it is just nice to go for a good old fashioned walk on the beach with the dog and the boyfriend. This is a walk we filmed on my new Go-Pro (Hero4 Silver, I love it!). We used a harness on the dog to film some of the footage, and the rest was just hand-held or balanced on the ground. This is my first video editing experience and I used I-Movie. Easy peasy!

Another blog post sooner rather than later, I think... :)
