David...
Nice name
Gives me hope that you will get nicer with time...
The reply you got: This is great news! I can imagine that your experience in China could be precious in some settings where you are dealing in the UK with students from China for example. And other settings of course. As you like children, and as you can have a lot of empathy when you want, you could be a great teacher. Maybe you could bring little Esther to the classroom where she could play with toys while you teach....
Just saying.... It is a scene that I like to imagine... Keep us posted.
