Started early didn’t take my dog* but instead had to talk about my holiday in Croatia a few years ago. I plodded along the description of mountains (high), landscape (beautiful), sea (blue)… Obviously need to get into collocations ! Actually I enjoyed reminiscing about those days. This afternoon, we visited Gloucester cathedral and were lucky [...]

I’m back in Paris after a week with my tutor in the Costwolds. When in London on my way back I spent a couple of hours in the British Museum but restricted my visit to the ground floor, part of the Egyptian rooms and the Parthenon.I had not seen the reading room before and found [...]

It was 3.00 o’clock and it was time to leave the house to go to the hill. The weather was a little bite cloudy, never mind it was warm enough. We drove to the bottom of Killiney Hill. We parked the car just in front of the stairs to access this well-known viewing point. We [...]

Today, in the morning, we continued with speaking activities. After lunch, we went to see an ancient stone circle called The Rollright Stores. It was fascinating to hear about the history and legends of these stones. They date from 3.500-1500 B.C. It is said that a witch turned a king into stone and then turned [...]
