Sunday 24th November 2019

It was another quiet day in an extremely quiet weekend. I got up very early and did some washing and then I spent most of the day making a banner for Gobi and Kavi’s wedding, which I am going to on Thursday. I get completely absorbed in this when I am doing it, so I forget that I am on my own!

I did go into Nuwara Eliya for a while though, just to break the monotony, partly to get a few last minute gifts for Christmas (it is great to be able to do all of my Christmas shopping here), but mainly just to have a walk around the town, as I will miss doing that once I am gone. I came across the usual horse wandering around the town and I will miss that too – you don’t get many horses trotting through Milsom Street back home!

I have been able to tell people a great deal about what I am doing here in Nuwara Eliya, but it is impossible to convey the sounds, the smells and the general atmosphere as you walk around the town. It has become a very special place for me, as it has been my home for the past 3 months. As a town, it is nothing special, and it certainly doesn’t have the beauty of Bath, although the countryside immediately around it is stunning and more than a match for the Cotswolds!

Today's photos show Nuwara Eliya views today, including the random horse being taunted by a couple of dogs!

It was my final day in the Pre-Primary Department of the Royal International School today, which was kind of sad, as they have been so welcoming, and I have had the most amazing time there. Miss Agatha and Miss Tharika run a very tight team that manages 902 children from Toddlers to Nursery to Lower Kindergarten (LKG) to Upper Kindergarten (UKG) extraordinarily well, and which provides an excellent foundation for these pupils' learning journey. I had a wonderful morning where I was observing Number lessons with the UKG Co-ordinator and the English Co-ordinator (seeing the level of English in the Number lessons). In almost all the lessons, the quality of the teaching was exceptionally high, with the attention to detail - and in particular with the resources they had prepared - quite incredible. And apart from all of that, it was great fun, which is, in my opinion what learning should be for children. I had a nerve-wracking afternoon, as I had to deliver a session on time management

My younger granddaughter Esther is 5 years old today, so I messaged her 10-year-old sister Isabella to ask her to wish her a 'Happy Birthday' from me. It was much less of a crazy day today, with a morning filled with lesson observations - this time observing English lessons in the Upper KinderGarten (UKG) classes, which is the equivalent year to Reception, so I could imagine Esther being at school with the children I was with all morning today. It was really useful today to watch the teaching of English to the 5-year-olds, whose level of understanding is already very impressive. As with the Tea Leaf Centres, it is a fully immersive system, so everything is conducted in English, and it is impressive how much English these 5-year-olds already know, in the same way that the progress Tea Leaf students make through the one-year full-time English Diploma is also extremely impressive. If you have been reading my blog, you may remember that Erica, who I had a wonderful weekend with in

I would say that this was easily my most enjoyable day so far, but it got rather spoiled this evening when I handled an extremely frustrating situation very badly. Let's focus on the good part of the day, because it really was a pleasure to work with Miggy and Stephanie all day, as we went in search of accommodation for Stephanie from next Tuesday 9th January, that we could also recommend to future volunteers who are working with Tea Leaf Trust in the Nuwara Eliya area. We visited 10 different Guest Houses between 10:00 and 16:00, with a brief stop for a delicious buffet lunch (that only cost 500LKR - a round   £1.25 -  per head) in b etween. We found some very suitable accommodation to suit a range of budgets in a variety of locations, but there was one place that was exceptional, where we returned at the end of the day to make a booking for Stephanie, who will go there at the same time as Isabelle, a new volunteer, next Tuesday. Our ideal accommodation (and I would happily stay t
