Being Neighbourly

We have a friendly Australian woman next door to us – who we only speculated about as she was away for the entire holidays before school commenced. Her name is Glen and has been an international teacher for quite a few years, teaching in Nepal and Thailand. She invited us to dinner in our first few weeks and we took the opportunity to get to know her (considering we thought it was a him for a while!). She cooks fantastic Indian!!! Which was a welcome change to the makeshift meals we were living on at the time. Glen taught us which brand of OJ was palatable and resembled something from home – unlike the watery orange ‘stuff’ we’d been buying. Glen is now a regular with us in the morning traffic on the way to school
