It was certainly different sleeping in London with the door wide open at night to try and get some air in ... ! I didn't even do that when I was in Malawi!
I like the map showing where your visitors come from ... congrats on having 127 views so far since you started it! And your layout is great ... I wish I could work out how to format my blog so it's nicer to look at! Hope your pupils are finding it as useful and as interesting as I am. (I've passed the details onto our HoD Geography too.)
Keep up the good work!
