Hometown:

Orford, Tasmania

About Me:

I live in a small country town on the east coast of Tasmania. I teach 11 and 12 year olds (http://orford.tased.edu.au) and I enjoy my job. I love my family and friends, my vast menagerie of pets, reading novels, going to live shows, losing weight, eating chocolate, the satisfaction of having exercised, winning anything, hearing a good joke, researching history, shopping mindlessly, summer holidays, singing loudly, Tasmanian sunshine, bush-walking, Bailey's Irish Cream... This list could go on for a lot longer! Is it any wonder I don’t have enough time for reading?

  Hi Fran
  Nice to meet you. Except for the pets (and I hope it's not a deal breaker), I love all the same things you do. And I once had dogs before I raised kids.

  Hi Fran - I am glad your class are enjoying hearing about a village way on the other side of the world. I've tried to put some interesting things in today's post for them.
