A blast from the past
Hey up, me ducks!
I can't believe that it has been almost a year and a half since I was the teacher-blogger. I wonder if many of you remember me from way back in summer 2006... I must say that i was thrilled to bits to get an email from Paul asking me whether I'd like to participate in the open blog. So much has happened to me since my last blog entry, it's hard to know where to start.
Unfortunately, my trusty laptop has decided to go on the blink this week which means I am blogging on my lunch break at work. Hopefully, I'll get it back before Friday so I can fill you in on all my news without having to rush.
I'd like to say a big 'HI' to Anita and Jenny, my student bloggers. I have just read your blog and comments Anita and am very touched that you wanted to catch up with me. It's great to hear your news and I look forward to reading more of your posts over the next couple of weeks. Are you still reading the blogs too Jenny? How is life in China these days?
Where do I start with my news? At the beginning I guess...
Tomono and I came back to the UK in December 2006. We had a tough couple of months job and house hunting before I finally found the job I wanted in marketing. I now work for an international student recruitment company called StudyLink. The job is very interesting and is the new challenge I was hoping for when i was in Japan. In a nut shell, I run campaigns to promote universities and colleges around the world to students who would like to study overseas.
The salutation at the beginning of this blog post will give you a clue as to where in the UK I am living. Does anyone know where in the UK people might use this kind of phrase?
Would you look at the time? I really should go back to work. I have a new campaign to plan and the deadline is looming.
I will try and blog again soon because I haven't told you my most exciting news! I wonder if anyone can guess what it is....
I'll try and find a nice photo next time too.

Hello,Lewis,nice to meet you!You might be living in Yorkshire,just because Rachel Hunt mentioned she came from that area and that hey-up greeting is quite common there.But on the other hand,'hey' is now widely spread in both hemispheres and 'me' instead of 'my' is often used by Scots.And there are plenty of lakes in Scotland with great number of ducks,aren't there?Anyway,York is close to Scotland...Lucky you!
Hello Lewis, it's good to see you again. I have been a regular reader of your blogs but, poor me, I never dropped a comment. As for the exciting news, is it that you and Tomono have a new member in your family? Best wishes, Naheed
Hi Lewis, I liked your lively way of putting things together, it makes the reader to share the excitement with you..."Hey up me ducks ", I assume is a greeting from Nottingham. Aren't you going to be a father, and isn't it your most exciting news????
Your blog “A blast from the past” Lewis consisted a very interesting topic. I mean you running campaigns to promote universities and colleges around the world. It perhaps is so that you are not in liberty to tell, who is your customer? Subject matter interests me a lot, so any additional bits of information would be greatly appreciated.
