MICROSTORY: SAINT GEORGE'S DAY

Yesterday, it was an intensive day.

For one hand, Carmen joined to the family again.

For another hand, all The Poppins stayed in Barcelona supporting Jennifer, who was signing lots of books in the downtown and enjoying Saint George’s Day altogether.

They found old friends in this wonderful city. In fact, they've been always there because they are the beginning of our present.

Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become. 

C. S. Lewis

ENJOY LONDON!

The English language is like London: proudly barbaric yet deeply civilised, too, common yet royal, vulgar yet processional, sacred yet profane.

Stephen Fry

Today, The Holmes have reviewed Present Perfect and its clues: already, just and yet. They have been working hard with Social English and some exercises of vocabulary.

For other hand, the family is still in London visiting the city. Today, they have visited M&M’s store, Camden, Portobello and Notting Hill.

The Grandma has reunited with her family again after staying some hours unlocked in a phone box in the middle of Leicester Square and she has been talking with them about London, Paris and New York City.

Tomorrow, the family is going to get on The Tube and travel around the city and surroundings. Rosa wants to visit Saint Paul's Cathedral meanwhile Carmen wants to visit The Museum of the Order of Saint John, an interesting order from Malta.
