    1. Hey, Manoli. How's things?
      Yes, after so many years I've decided it was high time it had a makeover, don't you think? I hope it doesn't put you off... you've been a keen follower all this time.
      Besides, you know what they say ... you have to change with the times...
      Keep in touch

  2. Hi Laura!
    I’ll be there reading your new blog, I’m really aware of the importance of continuing reading so your blog is perfect!
    That’s why I’d like to encourage your students to read the fiction story of “A village after dark” published in “The New Yorker Magazine", It is a very good reading... I hope your students would enjoy as I did.
    Thanks because of your support Laura.
