Catch Up!!!
The story so far…
Dynamic Daring Deputy Head 
is caught in a power struggle between the Evil Education Empire 
and their thirst for numbers and the need to stick knowledge in the heads of the ‘Yuff’ of today!
Meanwhile the Handsome Hero 
has been transported back to his homeland with a promise to return to rescue his one truelove ….
AND THEN I WOKE UP …. 
Having just had another fantastic 5 weeks with My Gorgeous Darling 
it was back to earth with a bump this week as the ‘powers that be’ 
did a bit of a visit so I haven’t really had time to sit and write til now …
We had a great time in York and found not only Vikings but Romans and a few ghosts too …
We did one of the famed York Ghost Walks which was excellent fun – especially when I got picked out to be the ‘assistant’ 
my thespianism to the fore once again 
Then we survived the high winds of the M62 to get to God’s Own County (the REAL one with the RED Rose 
) and My Beloved was introduced to MY social history going down t’pits and seeing the World Famous Wigan Pier (though it was too windy for the funfair to be out that day 
– but I did get him some Wigan Rock!!! )
Also caught up with a few people – and met the priest who christened me … 
then it was back to work for me 
but we did manage a visit to the cinema to see Miss Potter – so sad but Rene Z has such mannish hands! (sorry Rene!) and a wonderful dinner out 
before despite me pleas and emails and phone calls I had to put My Beloved on a plane home 
BUT
thats not the end of the story … as I type all my qualifications are on a desk somewhere in Wellington NZ being checked out, I will be making a ‘declaration of interest’ (as soon as I find a copy of my birth certificate 
) and am expecting that about the 15th of July my Beloved 
will be coming to ‘fetch’ me to carry me off on his white charger (or boeing 747 or what ever it is Emirates fly 
) back to NZ so that we can begin our new life together …. 
for now
but it was good fun cos it gave My Beloved 
a chance to impress la Famille with his XPSPBox (sic) skills via his magic thumbs 
and certainly won friends and influenced people 
which is not surprising really as he’s a total sweetheart 
) really just confirmed what we knew – get the paperwork done and wait – possibly for 4 months!!! 
was initiated into the Hope Whistling Orchestra 
(on tour at a venue near you soon!!! 
doesn’t seem to be so crazy anymore 
and me went to a murder mystery dinner entitled ‘Malice in Wonderland’ which was as mad as it sounds 
– but did provide the actors with a new idea to add to the script for next time
