… for continuing to visit my blog although I have been writing less and less for the past 18 months.
Truth is I went through a very bad period (as some of you might remember) and I felt less and less inclined to update my blog. Then I decided to take a sabbatical and join my daughter in London, so I have been in London for six months now. The only thing I updated in these last six months was the banner on the main page, inspired mainly by my own feelings in connection to what it is like to be a foreigner in London. I created the banner by cutting and grouping together the images, hoping to suggest the gap between the UK and Romania mainly in point of what we usually call ‘the culture clash’, but also aware that the same applies for any other two countries in the world, especially if one is a western European country and the other is… not.
I am not going to make any promises as to how often I am going to write a new post. I used to think I could keep up with two new posts every week, but discovered I couldn’t. So I’ll write whenever I have something to share and, I’m sorry if I am going to disappoint anyone, there won’t be much on teaching English in Romania or on teaching English in general for that matter.
So once again, thank you for visiting and reading me, I am so grateful to all of you for your support!

It’s good to see this post and interesting to read about the ideas behind the redesign of the banner.
I’ll look forward to your future posts, on whatever subject, when they appear.
Take care,
Carol
Thank you so much for your kind words, Carol! I intend to expand on the idea behind the banner but… as I said, this time I won’t make any promises.
Best,
Melania
I miss you so so much. And I have been telling myself that ‘no news is good news,’ that ‘no news has to be good news.’ It must be. I’ll keep visiting because I am thinking of you; both of you.
Love,
Rodica
