Thanks for all the comments. I can't believe the weather in Scotland, 27 degrees yesterday and looks the same today. Yesterday I visited three different schools - all very different. Uphall, Toronto and St JJoseph's in Whitburn. I saw a music therapy session and got to conduct the orchestra. We went to an assembly and presented certificates for brass exams. We saw the most amazing toilets ( yes really) at St Joesph's - beautifully painted with murals - have an idea....... about this.
I have met some amazing teachers and head teachers ( that is what principals get called here) and really neat kids. They are very interested in us.
Last night we caught the train into Edinburgh and went right past Edinburgh Castle. They are ripping up the main street in Edinburgh to put in trams, I wodnewr why? This is not the first place that has done this.
We are off to Pithlochery tomorrow for two nights and thenhead back to London until we catch the plane home. I think Bumble is ready to come home now, he has had so much fun adn learned so much but I think he misses school and everyone there. Hopefully he will back in time for the senior cross country.
Well best get going again we are off to Linlithgow to do some shopping.
I heard teh SING OFF was fantastic, am really sorry I missed it - did any one video it?
Miss you all - hope you remembered Mrs Donaldsons birthday last week too...

Hello in Pitlochery...or you may be reading this just before you come home. We can't wait to see you and hear about all your adventures. I am so looking forward to hearing about your studies Jane. We have chicken pox in our house so things pretty quiet and itchy! We are enjoying the cool but clear days again. Safe and comfortable travels home. I hope Bumble doesn't get too restless on the journey!
Hi Jane. Your trip sounds wonderful. Yes, I was very spoiled on my birthday.The teachers and children were all very kind. Oh dear - you will feel cold when you come back to New Zealand. The temperature on Sunday only got up to 6C!Enjoy your last few days.
I am pleased you are having some warm weather before you come home. It is very cold here. It will be great to see you back safe and well. We are all working hard but we miss you!! The house sing off was fun. The teachers sung and the crowd went wild!!! The teachers sung "I'm A Believer". Peel won!! They were very good.

Hi Jane, Pauline and Bumble
It's been great to read of your travels - I'm so pleased Pauline and Bumble have now forged a friendship :)
We're all looking forward to seeing the photos of your travels. No doubt we'll be treated to a Power-point in assembly! I hope you had a wonderful birthday and that all our texts got through so you knew we were thinking of you. You've been missed and everyone's looking forward to seeing you back - I hadn't realised it was going to be so soon.
Enjoy your last few days and have a safe trip home.
Sheralyn :)
