Finished my probationary year in july and have just started a new permanent job as a History teacher in Banchory Academy - and really enjoying it so far, first term has just flown in! Moved with sarah up to rural aberdeenshire to take up the post and am now living in a cool farmhouse with awsome views (though still not as good as chirs and becki's). it needs a little work done to decorate inside but will be great when it is all completed. I have a dog called oscar and 4 chickens that give us eggs everyday. If you are ever up this way pop in and say hello (and we have got plenty of space for folk to crash) but i would phone for directions first as it is a nightmare to find lol.
