  • Brescia Weekend

    Been back in Brescia all of 24 hours and have already been bitten several times again. Bloody insects! Amazingly didn't notice any new bites whilst in Trento, although the old ones still look a bit of a mess! 

    Anyway, I got back last night and had a lovvvvvvvvvvely long sleep in my own bed last night. I'm looking forward to another one starting shortly, and then tomorrow I'm packing up my bag again to go back to Trento. It's definitely been nice to come back home for a bit. In fact it worked out perfectly because Kirsty was also back mid-camp this weekend and we just went out for drinks, dinner and catch up.... very nice to swap camp experiences and have a general chill out session!

    The next camp is going to be very different. 10 kids total instead of 32. Staying together with the other teacher in the same family, who have 2 daughters doing camp (so that's 20% of the camp we'll be living with!). It'll be much easier in some ways, and harder in others. More time to focus on individual students and can definitely get through more, but that means more preparation! It should be good though, I'm looking forward to it!

    Strange that the first one has already finished, and have had to say goodbye to half of the team. Always a shame to say goodbye to people you get on well with, even though I'm fairly used to having to do so now!! Still, new people next week and hopefully it will be just as good, even if much lower key!

    I will try and keep you posted!!
