We’re about to launch tailor-made English Language courses. Having a resident linguist, it does make sense! Totally fluent in English, Dutch and German he spends hours each week on professional translating projects and he’s just about to do some further TEFL courses. On top of that he is extraordinarily patient. As he’s lived in most European countries at some point but has now been in England for over fifteen years (gulp!) he is extremely aware of those little cultural differences. It should be fun. So if you know of any Dutch or Germans who would like to learn English in a relaxed and luxurious environment, then please let them know!
And to help them, soon the website will be tri-lingual. Sadly this blog won’t be, since my German is non-existent and my Dutch extends to important phrases such as, ‘go and brush your teeth’ and ‘shut-up bald head’…..!
The disadvantages of having spectacular views is that we can watch unfolding dramas that take place far across the countryside. Last night we watched with dismay as an enormous fire took hold of the heather, bracken and trees on a local hill known as the Bosley Cloud. Fortunately we don’t think that anyone was hurt or any property damaged. The fire engines arrived from every direction, but I suppose there was little they could do. So sad to think it will be years, if ever, before all that wonderful wildlife regenerates.
And we certainly never thought we’d see vistas similar to the Icelandic volcano right here in Cheshire!
