Flood!

If you read this blog regularly, you know we have moved to a new building and you will also know that as a Londoner, I don't believe it ever rains here.
Well, today it rained. In fact, it poured. It came down in buckets. The sky went black, the heavens opened and our basement flooded. What a disaster!!!
The afternoon was spent getting the water out and clearing up... a perfect way to end the week. On the way home this evening, I'm sure I saw a man with a beard directing pairs of animals onto a boat. Maybe I'm going mad.
Have a dry weekend.

A perfect day


On Saturday Alejandra took a group of students on a day trip to Brighton. Some went swimming in the sea (very brave!), others went shopping or visited the cultural sites. And they all shared fish and chips!
This week we have a lot planned - including a Shakespeare play at the Globe, a party and a trip to Greenwich. I'll post photos and reviews after each activity.
Wherever you are... have a good week.

Broken Link

What a disaster!
Yesterday we had a link to Rai, the Italian tv channel, for the news story about learning English in London. And now all I get is a message which says "Spiacenti. Il video richiesto non è più disponibile".

So... Camden College of English really was famous for only one day!

Camden TV

Thanks to Rosa, an old student of the school, who sent this link from Italian TV of Camden College of English. I was expecting us to be on TG1 on Wednesday but instead we were on TG2 this weekend!
The link is 30 minutes of news and we are near the end... it's a piece about the Bell school in Cambridge and Camden College of English in London. You can see a clip of one lesson with Rob (with the orange sofas), two of our fantastic students talking (in front of the computer with the picture of the undergound) and then a shot of a group walking out the front door.
I'm very proud that our lovely little school was chosen to represent the world of language teaching in London.
Ciao!
