Long Time Gone (Part 3)

In the last few weeks, my dance teachers have started a beginner’s class in ballroom dancing before the lesson I go to, and my friends and I help out at. Because it’s at a lower level than what we dance at, it’s useful for bringing up the standard of my dancing when I am doing [...]

Long Time Gone (Part 2)

I am still going to Cobham Park Veterinary Clinic every week. A number of times animals have been brought in to have x-rays for various reasons and I helped the nurses to position them and develop the films. Also, a chocolate Labrador that was believed to be pregnant had an ultrasound scan. It turned out that she [...]

Seasons Change

Prom season has started and for me that mean one thing – more work! I do some part-time work for a photographer who goes to proms and other events. In the last week I have worked at Tormead School PTA Dinner Dance, Ascot Charitable Ball and Guildford County School Prom. My job is to show people their photos, [...]

April Showers

At the beginning of April my Easter holidays started with me spending a week lambing at the farm in Devon which I had got work experience at in February. I was working very long hours; waking early and working without breaks until dinner and then going back again! I will write more about this week in [...]

Before Easter

Although Easter itself is over – my Easter holiday hasn’t even started yet! Although when it does start it’s not going to be much of a rest. The first week I am going back to the farm that I did work experience on in February to help with lambing and the second week is going to [...]

Sister’s Are Doin’ It For Themselves

This morning was the last time that I’ll see my sister, Emily, for nearly six months. Emily is two years older than me and is in her gap year before she goes to university to study photography. For the past few months she’s been working at a nursery to raise money to go traveling. Today, [...]

The Farm

 
The past couple of weeks have been very busy; I’ve have 5 AS-Level exams, been to the vet’s twice, visited family and a pig farm. The exams all went well and there were no major mistakes (as far as I’m aware) on my part, and at college we are already well into the next batch [...]

It Was A Very Good Year

2007, which was a good year for me, is now over. Some on my highlights of the last 12 months include; my 16th birthday, passing my GCSE’s, holidaying in Ecuador, starting my A-Levels at a new college and meeting a new group of great friends. Monday night (New Year’s Eve), while my sister and Mum went out [...]

Blue Christmas

My grandparents stayed with us during Christmas and my aunt and her sons visited on Boxing Day. As usual, everyone ate far too much, even Ruby (the rat) was eating well and, despite the fact that she had ups and downs, overall she seemed to be getting better. Even on Thursday evening, when puss started coming [...]
