Cheerio!
Hello everyone! The day has arrived … today is my last post as teacher blogger. :-<
I have had a ball (a great time) over the past two months and am truly sorry to say goodbye to you all.
I would like to say a big thanks to Paul Scott, for giving me the opportunity to be the teacher blogger, and to Caroline Dunton, for getting rid of all the spam so we can read each other’s comments easily and for sorting out the blogs when it all went a bit Pete Tong.
I want to say ‘Well done!’ to my two student bloggers: Naheed, who worked so hard and completed my nasty homework (even when it was my pets who set the homework), and Ha, who blogged for us even though she had lots on at work. I wish you both well in your studies, career and future life. I hope you’ll both be very happy.
Last but not least, thanks to everyone who has sent in their comments. I can honestly say I have been overwhelmed by your responses, which have made me smile, laugh, and brought a tear to my eye every now and then. I have learned a lot from you all, and it’s been such fun chatting to people from all over the world.
So I’ll now pass you on to the capable hands of Paul, who will introduce you to your next teacher blogger.
Keep learning English, and take care!
Jo

Hi Jo, it was great fun as well as learning experience with your blog for last two months. Thank you so much for being nice teacher. Please convey my regards to Richard, Scratchy, Smokey, Raffles, Panther and Socks. I wish you all the best! Cheers, Manas.
HI Jo!My last hello to you I am writing with a hope that you didn`t catch such a bad cold as I cought lying now with fever and pain in my lungs. I am glad you spent such a lovely time celebrating Richard´s birthday. I wish all the best for him and his kind and cheerful half Jo! Once more you wrote nice words in your blog and I liked you just as Jo from the book which I still (what a shame) read with a sneil speed. Please forgive all "I and me" in this writing. I would like invite you to visit my lovely town just in the heart of this small country with nicest ZOO, castle and spa for your next relaxation. See you!
Dear Jo, Speaking on the behalf of the simple blog visitors who want to improve their English and i believe tat everyone would support me, I'd like to express my gratitude and respect to you. Every phrase and word you explained in your blogs was put down in my notebook and i must admit I use them quite often now. That's great. You can be proud of yourself! cheers and have fun!
Hi Jo, I am very happy to see my name in your last blog. I read your blog everyday and the articles were very funny. Do you rememember me? I am the person who described your posture of holding a baby like catching a cat. It is really nice to meet you. Hope you all the best! (maybe we can meet one day) :> Virginia
Hello Jo, I really liked to read from you, your blog was stimulative and thanked to you I’ve learned a lot about UK , and yet, I loved watching the nice pictures you posted. So, many thanks for these two wonderful months. With warm good wishes,
Hi Jo ! Thanks for your explanations, vocabulary and your natural likeable way of being. Good wishes to you and Richard, Scratchy, Smokey, Raffles, Panther and Socks (I have copied/pasted all the names) These last weeks I couldn't be more active with comments because I was on holiday and I had not easy access to the Internet. Cheerio !!! Antonio
Cheerio Jo!!! It was very nice to meet you and your pets Jo. Moreover, it was a pleasure sending comments in your blogs. It helps me a lot to brush up my English :-). All the best for you, Richard, little Sophie, Scratchy, Smokey(so cute!), Raffles, Socks and Panther. Ana Paula.
Hello Jo, Sniff! It's time to bid farewell to you and Richard, Scratchy, Smokey, Raffles, Panther and Socks (Please tell them I am so happy to make friends with them!). Jo, thank you so much for your interesting blogs. They are precious knowledge resources for us to brush up our English. I wish you all the best. See you soon.
Hi Jo! I have had a whale of a time reading your entries. Your photos brought back happy memories for me. Thank you so much. Believe it or not, I also saw those horses and donkeys in National Park in April. But I did not know that this area is called The New Forest. Thanks once again. Enjoy the summer! Take care and say ‘Hi!’ to all your family from me. With very warmest best wishes,
Hi, Jo. How a wise Spanish writer said, "The Good is Short, two times Good". You have given us your best. So Thank you very much and Good Bye.
A big hug for you Jo,It's been a great time with you :).The world is very small and it's a wish to meet you face to face one day.If God willing my wish will come true.Best wishes to you and your chap Richard.Kisses to Scratchy (the boss),Raffles(Hollywood pet star),Smokey(the lazy girl),Panther(My human) and Socks(blessed with natural socks).Panther and Socks are twins like my sisters,they are also unidentical twins.Best wishes for the future.You are wonderful!Naheed xxx
