HESKETH FARM PARK

For children, travellers and ACCESO students (You must read a lot!)
Please, have a look at this link. We were in this farm last Summer. Sergio said it was better than Disney (& cheaper, I tell you!- I should have known this before!)
It is a lovely farm park in one of the most beautiful places in England: Yorkshire. It's next to Boltom Abbey.We also went to the Lake District, which is beautiful, too. You can look for information about these places in Google...in English, of course. I'll insert photos and videos soon...I'm learning.

IRELAND

Information about Ireland. For all my students and friends.
Have a look at this link:
http://www.discoverireland.ie/
Ireland entered my life in July 1989. More than 20 years later, Ireland is still in my heart and will be forever. I love the people, the green landscapes, the colourful houses, the pubs, Grafton Street, St. Stephen Green, Blackrock park, the Irish writers, Bewley's café, U2, the Corrs, Wicklow Mountains. the DART.... but above all: THE HERNDERSONS, "my adopted family". Without them, I won't probably be a vocational English teacher. Without them, I won't definitely love Ireland this way.
Thank you so much.
I love you & I miss you every day (although I don't write e-mails very often lately!)
Love

Molly Malone


Activity for all the students, just for fun.
This is one of the most popular Irish folk songs. Sinead O'Connor is singing. You can read the lyrics and listen to the song and her beautiful voice at the same time. I love it:

My aim these days is that you love Ireland as much as I do (I guess it's impossible)
