Over the years, I’ve accompanied students on many eventful trips all over the world; some got lost, one travelled sans passport, another landed in the pilot’s cabin, lots got drunk, others saw ghosts… Honestly, I could write a book! The most memorable trip was to Italy with eighty mischievous adolescents who had made a pledgeContinue reading “Bite Size Memoir – It Made My Day!”

Bite Size Memoir “Holiday Reads”
This week Lisa at her blog, Sharing the Story, has prompted us to write about holiday reads. Far too difficult to condense into 150 words! So I’ve just mentioned what I would have considered ‘lighter’ reading at the time, because it was not mandatory for school, college, or work. Here’s my memoir: When I wasContinue reading “Bite Size Memoir “Holiday Reads””
Bite Size Memoir “10 out of 10″
Il y en a dix! I was an insecure and awkward child. Too tall, too shy, too quiet, and too many spots (I did so sympathise with Adrian Mole). The ensuing lack of self-esteem slowly decreased as I started to excel in small things. The first of these memorable moments was my French class, inContinue reading “Bite Size Memoir “10 out of 10″”
Bite Size Memoir No.8 “Dressing Up”
Princess for One Day I will never forget the white shoes. They were too tight, but they didn’t have a larger size, so I pretended they fit, of course I had painful blisters the next day, but I didn’t mind. It was a small price to pay for feeling like a princess. I wore aContinue reading “Bite Size Memoir No.8 “Dressing Up””

Bite Size Memoir No.6 “First Jobs”. At the Bakery Department.
When I was at school we all had Saturday jobs. My mother wasn’t too keen at first, because she wanted me to do well at school, but I convinced her that my marks wouldn’t suffer. I had always loved big department stores, so I decided to apply for my first job at Debenhams, the biggestContinue reading “Bite Size Memoir No.6 “First Jobs”. At the Bakery Department.”
Bite Size Memoir 4: Sports Day
I was never too keen on sports when I was at school. I was more academically inclined, and at the time, both activities didn’t seem to be compatible! I was a defender in the netball team, because I was tall, however I was never very enthusiastic about it! But I did enjoy Sports Day atContinue reading “Bite Size Memoir 4: Sports Day”
