Its Almost Half Term

Well, four more days of school, one staff development day, a weekend, and we will be heading to Ireland. We will be staying in Dublin from the 23rd through the 27th. To get to Dublin, we need to take the ferry from Ryde to Portsmouth. In Portsmouth, get on a train to London. Take the train to London and switch trains there. We then are on a train headed to Holy Head. When we arrive there, we take a ferry from Holy Head to Dublin. When we get there, we take a bus to our 'hostel'. The nice thing is that we can do all that for around £100 per person. Its also nice that they use the Euro in Ireland, and currently the Euro is trading at approximately 1.4 Euro per pound

I have included a few pictures of our house, finally. I just have one picture of the outside and one of part of the living room (or reception room as it is called here).















Decided it would be fun to add English words that we discover here. So here are a few:

American Way English Way
Right a way Straight Away
Get in Line Queue Up
All Said and Done At the End of the Day
Give me a call Ring me up
(to do something) Only once A one off
Someone stole something Someone pinched or nicked something

Well I will make sure to have a pint of Guiness for you all.
