🥳 Wishing a Happy New Year to all! This time last year I'd just made it back to Italy after being locked down in Oman for Christmas. I'm glad this year to have spent a wonderful Christmas with friends and family and, as all new year celebrations are cancelled here in Italy, I'm looking forward to a quiet evening to welcome in 2022. ⠀ Here are some of my highlights from this year: ⠀ ⠀ ⭐Discovering some incredible sights in Oman while working on the EMG + ITW Omani Legal Force Programme (driving a 4x4 up Jebel Akhdar wild camping at a wadi, and dessert camping were top!)⠀ ⭐Seeing my family and friends, and welcoming new little humans to the world⠀ ⭐Marrying Mr Perfetto 🥰⠀ ⭐Continuing the Study Legal English Podcast, interviewing many wonderful guests, and running a podcast project with UMCS Poland⠀ ⭐ Visiting Masaryk University to guest lecture students and getting a tour of the Constitutional Court⠀ ⭐ Getting some culture in - seeing live music and art in real life! Lavello folk, The Greek Passion Opera, and Radio and Juliet ballet ⠀ ⭐ Starting teaching legal English with Linguaid France and meeting my new wonderful students⠀ ⭐Surviving covid⠀ ⭐Writing a coursebook on practical legal skills alongside Natasha Costello... almost finished...⠀ ⭐Organising the EULETA 2021 Hybrid conference alongside a great team and welcoming in the new board ⠀ ⭐ Buying jogging bottoms. Who knew they were so comfy and acceptable to wear to (online) work ⠀ ⠀ ➡️ How was your year? What are your highlights?
