Day 22 – Thursday, 1 August 2019 – Harry P. & the Horses

As week three comes to a close, we say goodbye to some of our students, but also welcome some new ones.

Departures

No doubt we’re all sad to have to wave goodbye, but at the same time, we can’t help it but be delighted to see how many friends students have made in only a couple of weeks. Friends might fly away home to the other side of the world – yet that won’t mean an end to their companionship. Our returning students regularly tell us about how they keep in touch with friends they met here – even if it was years ago!

The deeper the sorrow, the sweeter the joy
Have a safe flight home!

Arrivals

A fresh week also means that some new students join our team. We wish them a great stay here and plenty of learning English!

For other students, Thursday is a more relaxed day when they can recharge and get ready for another week of learning to use their English in new ways.

A nice walk to Ludlow

Some chose to visit Ludlow, the quintessential English town, just 5 minutes’ drive from the campus. Ludlow Castle was built by the Norman (French) invasion force led by William the Conqueror that conquered England in 1066.

The stunning walk to Ludlow is 20 minutes through fields and forest

The secrets of Harry Potter

Lovers of this book and movie franchise got an opportunity to step behind the scenes and learn more about their favourite characters. They even saw authentic props and rooms that the movies were filmed in!

Study like Granger, eat like Weasley, live like Potter!

Horses aren’t just beautiful to look at

Horse riding is a perfect way to truly and completely connect with nature. Under the careful eye of a professional guide, students went on a ride through the forest.

What students really loved was the fact that the ride was not in paddock, not on a road: our trek was through forest tracks deep in the forest. A real adventure!

See for yourself what horse riding is like

Ready for another great week? Let’s do it!
