Namaste!
We landed at Gatwick, on the 12th in the morning, went on a
whirlwind tour of London for the next one and a half days.
We visited Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Trafalgar
Square, Piccadilly Circus, Madame Tussaud’s, the London Eye, the British Museum, Big
Ben and numerous other important heritage buildings.
Travelling across the beautiful picturesque countryside was
a blissful experience. On our arrival at Whitecross, Hereford we were greeted
by the smiling and cheerful host families. The children from both the schools
were happy to meet each other
At Whitecross, passing through the innumerable
corridors, colourful classrooms and the bubbling dining hall full of happy
children lifted our spirits which even the rainy weather and chill breeze could
not dampen.
Watching the Whitecross and Heritage students greet one
another on Sunday evening we had to remind ourselves that they hadn’t actually
met before, but thanks to Facebook, emails and telephone friendships had
already taken root. By the time we met them all again for our pre-school
check-in on Monday hosts and exchangees were looking like it was an everyday
occurrence.
Walks in the countryside, bowling, dinner out and shopping
have already been undertaken. As well as a taster of life as a Whitecross
student, including early morning football training, a visit from the Sheriff of Hereford is eagerly anticipated as is the
planned excursion to take in some Herefordshire countryside, history and
culture.
