Chelsea's Trip to Italy

Hi All

The school prepared a six day itinerary which included Venice, Florence and Rome and all the not so major cities along the way. She had an absolute blast!

Summer Fun - Chelsea & Thomas

Hi All

Another Day in Paradise. A saying that we have all come to know and love. To say that we all love and most importantly appreciate the opportunity that we have to live on this wonderful island that is Tenerife, would be an understatement to say the least.

This year Chelsea decided to enroll in Surfing lessons. I wasn't too keen on the idea at first, being slightly afraid of the sea and all.. but not wanting to impose or transfer my fears to either of the kids, and after re-assurances that it was safe and monitored well, I agreed.

I'm glad I did, because over the course of about 5 or 6 weeks, Chelsea has learned the basics of surfing. Whilst I was on holiday I went along a few times to sit and watch her and it was well worth it.

To see the kids (Thomas joined in for the last week) enjoying the sun and surf like that was magical. A sight for sore eyes!

After all what's the point of living in Paradise if you don't make the most of your surroundings.

Annual Trip to Puerto de la Cruz

Hi All

Every year we try to get away for one or two nights to Puerto de la Cruz, with our friends Cindy and David & their son Sam.

This year was no exception, and on the way back we stopped at our favourite restaurant 'The Monsatery', so named because it is an old monastery that has been converted into a restaurant (or three).

It has lots of nooks and crannies, that we love to explore and has a very authentic Canarian feel about it.

We love it and the grounds are very picturesque. Perfect for budding models and those wishing to improve their photography skills...
