Geocaching

Last week I tried a new activity, geocaching.
A group colleagues from work and I downloaded the app and went on our way to the first site, hardly 5 minutes away from the office.
A strange activity,it has to be said, not for me, but then again, at least I have tried it.


New venture at Teesside High

My colleague Roberta who was my Italian teacher, has given my business, Café Pierre Languages an amazing opportunity to develop at teesside High School.

We will be offering a short programme of languages in November.
The programme will include, French, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese.

Our tutors are all native speakers and I am delighted to be involved in such an important project. I feel as though this is the chance we needed to establish a Language school in the Tees Valley.

The Ryder Cup.

If you want to understand sport, if you want to understand what it means to compete in a sport, if you want to see the pure emotion related to sport, watch Ian Poulter playing golf for Europe in the Ryder cup.
He wears his heart on his sleeve and you can experience his emotion as he chips in on the 14th. Today Saturday 28th September at the home of golf Gleneagles in Scotland.

I don't care if you think golf is boring, I don't care if you think it is a stupid game hitting a little ball with a stick.
Unless you have played this game, you will never appreciate the skill that these players have.
You have to be in awe of the raw talent and for that matter emotion involved in what I would say is perhaps, maybe not as big as the World Cup, but up there as one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
