Part One For a birthday treat this year I booked myself a night in Bath. The main objective was to visit the spa; as well as sightseeing and just enjoying some time off work. I visited Bath for a day trip a few years ago and found my way to […]

Having a socially demanding job. Agreeing to cover extra classes. Two. Back to back. Unfamiliar people in a place I haven’t taught at before.
