Leaving Monaghan Shopping Centre

As a teacher it is utterly gratifying  to be in such good humoured company and most especially to be with those children - whose names might, in school time,  all too often trip off the tongues of teachers and in a certain tone of voice - who on this trip have been utterly delightful.It's been an amazing trip - parents and teachers can be equally proud of their children.  They were always mannerly, enthusiastic and friendly.  And, I'm glad to say, still are despite the early morning start.   For those one or two who felt a little homesick in the first day or two their pals were admirably supportive.
Thanks to all who followed on Twitter, read the blog (1200 hits across 10 countries - I was sorry not to opt for Google ads!
Thank you too to Miss Barry for being such good company and a great support.
All not so quiet on the bus now as they are playing some -to me- inexplicable game involving all children and a lot of cheering!
Signing off now, back on stream in two years.
