Last year, I had an opportunity to work in a nursery in England. I had been there about 3 months and I had an absolutely wonderful time. All the children were so sweet and affable. This summer holiday, I went back to England to see my friends. I wondered if I could pop in to the nursery but it had been a while since I left. I didn’t think the children remembered me. One day, in a supermarket, a little boy came around and shouted “Annie!” That is what I was called in the nursery. I was very surprised that he still remembered me. How lovely!
