And so it begins…

April 20, 2008 |  Tagged , | 22 Comments




At just before 7.30pm this evening, 20 pupils and 2 teachers from the Zeldenrust Steelantcollege drew up outside Ian Ramsey, to be greeted by their English hosts, Mrs. Butterfield, Mr. Armstong and Mr. Davison.  Nerves were running high (especially for Mrs. Butterfied) however, after the initial greetings, pupils were “paired-up” and all headed off home for the night.

The true business of the trip begins tomorrow when everyone heads off to Beamish for the day.

I’m looking forward to hearing all about your adventures through the comments and catching up with you all when we go bowling tomorrow evening.

    Hi there!

    I’ve had a great time here in England, and I’m looking forward to it when they come to the Netherlands. I’m sure that they’re going to have the time of their life because the Netherlands are just super! I’m really going to miss them but I’ll talk to them on msn! :)
