Okay here is the short version. Grew up in Brighton, UK, moved to Toronto, Canada with the family when I was 11. Went to university in Montreal to study Education. Became a teacher. Came back to London, UK to teach. It scared the s*%t out of me, but actually love love loved it. Taught Year 5 and 6 in an East London Primary school for 5 and a half years. Met F somewhere in between all that. Fell in love! Moved in with F. Married F. Did my Masters in Children’s Literature. Moved to Switzerland with F. Taught at a Private International School. Loved the kids, but hated the system. Much prefer state school in England. Had a baby in Geneva!!! Quit job to be with Baby Bee. Motherhood rocked my world in ways I never thought possible. Now we are back to the UK so that F can start his business and I can go back to being the type of teacher that I want to be. Maybe. Maybe I will go and do another degree. Maybe. Maybe I’ll stay home with BB.
And that is the story About Bee so far.
My blog is my life narrative – random thoughts about teaching, motherhood, family, books, reading and even some original fiction if I am brave enough! Welcome.
go guys go! I am so happy for you both. take care and God Bless! You guys are always in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of Love as always, Bai

I just stumbled across your blog, and wanted to say I love your stories! I lived in Switzerland (Lausanne) for three months last year for work, and loved every second of it

Hi Shireen,
Thanks for your comment on my blog, I like your blog too! Shall we link each other?
I occasionally hold evenings called “Living in Nyon” events where readers of my site can meet together for a drink etc.
I’ll let you know when the next one is soon.
Where are you in Nyon?
Kind regards Catherine
