Onwards I went back in time through photo memory cards 11 and 12. November 2011 to August 2013. Tumultuous times; teacher training and teacher... teaching. Sort of. It didn't go particularly well.
This was a day when it did go well. That's me teaching English in a special school using an interactive story book and a puppet. I sang too. No, there isn't a video. Shame.
My experience in that school was so positive that even now I work with children and young people with special educational needs. Perhaps it was the biting that won me over, or maybe that flying curry in my face.
This is my Mum. She is very pleased that I agreed to go rafting with her next to a glacier, although I have serious doubts about the protective capability of her helmet. Paddling next to a glacier is like stirring a Mojito with an over-sized straw.
The morning of my best friend's wedding in Thailand, and here he is looking cool and collected, when he probably felt anything but. His daughter had just left the room with his future sister-in-law, and we were left in relative silence to finish getting ready, go over our speeches (I was Best Man), and compose ourselves. I'll never forget it.
A hot day in August at Groombridge Place, Kent with my sister and her two children. This is my niece Phoebe waiting to be trapped inside a plastic ball and pushed into a large paddling pool so she can scramble like a hamster in a wheel and we can all laugh at her. Win win!
And this is a photo of my ex at her happiest. We were walking on the outskirts of London on a blisteringly hot day when we stumbled across this hollow tree. This period of time is peppered with photos of her. And that's OK. They remind me only of happy times now, for which I'm grateful.
It's been fun uploading photos so far, but I'm aware that this month is into its final third. So it's time to choose a selection of photos and get them printed.
Do you wish you did more with your photos? Join me and get some printed or framed this week.
