Dear All
The Zip Slide finally took place yesterday! It has been postponed 3 times due to high winds and bad weather.
What
a laugh! Would I do it again...err...no! I don't think so! The day had
been sunny right up to the point when I did my zip - at which point, the
heavens opened and at 140 feet up, I got drenched! The cloud burst
lasted for the duration of my time up in the crane and on the way down -
at which point it stopped! What did I do to deserve that? 
I
thought you might like to see the proof! Here is the photo the
professional photographer took. I think that by the time I collect in
the cash donations, the sum raised will be about £750 - £800 including
Gift Aid.
It
is amazing how much support I have received from family, friends and
colleagues. The project 'Arrugas', initiated by by dearest eTwinning
colleague Alicia Diez Ruiz, was inspired by the Spanish comic "Arrugas"
(Wrinkles), which later became a prize-winning film directed by Ignacio
Ferreras. This event for Alzheimer Scotland has for me been 'icing on
the cake'. Many many thanks to those of you who have donated to this
worthy cause. Our project has won a Quality Label from British
Council/eTwinning for the 4 schools involved in the project: Capital
City Academy London, Niccolo Machiavelli Rome, IES Juanot Martorell,
Spain and ourselves at Loudoun Academy here in Scotland. Since the
beginning of the project, all schools have been involved in tasks which
highlight the problems of dimentia and Alzheimers. Our
pupils have communicated in the Spanish language during the whole
event, enabling them not only to learn how to use modern technology, but
to understand the importance of communicating with our older
generation.
It has been a wonderful project and one, which I am sure, we shall remember with fondness and pride.
¡Muchas gracias a tod@s! Any further updates I shall post on the Just-Giving.com/Julia-Preston page.
