Of course Mum has been coming to Australia, since 1976, and lots of people wanted to share their memories including the Schneiders. John was Roger's first boss at Warilla High School. He and Helen really looked after us "Pommy Bastards" teaching us the basics - like you really should take meat to a BBQ and when you are asked to 'Bring a plate' - you should put something on it!!!!
Here we all are in the 90's!
So it was time to visit. Hiromi came with us and we set off down the coast via Stanwell Tops to Wollongong... glorious day.
Very tempted to go hang gliding at Stanwell but on we went. John and Helen's place hasn't changed since the seventies... such a warm welcome.

A quick nostalgic trip to Lake Illawarra High - My first teaching post in Oz "It has been found necessary to totally reorganise the General Activities Department at Lake Illawarra" This is how our submission started....Yeah! $15,000 ( a huge amount in those days - you could buy a house for that) We had a whole new sparkling department...books, kitchens, extra staff. Team teaching, Breakfast club, ESL lessons for parents...Great times!
