Lemon myrtle is beautiful @Teej especially in full bloom - I hope you can get one to grow 
I was given a rosemary plant for christmas from one of the teachers - her name is Rosemary so it was a veru cool present I thought. It is growing near my back door so I can smell it when I sit out there with my babies.
I know from my buddy teacher that she had a really hard year last year - lots of deaths in the family and illness - but she also said the Principal was very supportive so that gives me more confidence in her also. I actually taught with the Principal many years ago and remember her being so lovely then too - it would be harder being Principal but I hoping that same support extends throughout the school as it did at the school last year.
@Snowie I forgot you guys go back a week before us ...been so busy not much else has been in my mind though this week. Would be good having so you time again
She has been really lovely so far @Teej so I am hoping the same. I don't expect any issues but working fulltime again is certainly going to be a challenge - and I still have to work appointments in so some weeks are going to be super draining. My Mum expressed her concern today about me working fulltime again but I assured her it is what I want to do and if I have support around me it will make it easier. I am teaching a grade I have only ever taught for a term before so any help I can get will be appreciated. A friend from school last year has said she would help as much as she could also - so lovely of her
