What a day. Just received my MBE from The Princess Royal at Windsor Castle. The most memorable day ever that has gone in a blur.
Now with 2 of my 3 children Jai and Bailey which is making the day even better.

Más de 90 estudiantes y profesores de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Panamá estuvieron presentes en la Feria de Salud llevada a cabo en el Casco School, que busca facilitar pruebas médicas incluyendo tomado de presión y exámenes de laboratorio a más de 219 niños vulnerables de Santa Ana, El Chorrillo, San Felipe y demás áreas cercanas. Esta actividad fue organizada en colaboración con la Asociación de Vecinos y Amigos del Casco Antiguo (AVACA) y Voluntarios de Casco.

A time to think about those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

A time to thank those brave souls for their courage and protection.

A time to think about what they did for us and our country.

‘Lest we forget’

@PCSOAndyW @HP_CSU Good to see you’re still both doing great things with Western.

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@lauriejanewest It wasn’t me…there must be two handsome back men in Grimsby. Hard to believe…but true.haha

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@eliistender10 I feel this even more…every day. My dad died when I was one. I obviously have no memory of him (there aren’t even any photos of us together & only one of him), but miss him every single day

How is that even possible? I don’t know, but I do know the pain is real & relentless💔

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@MrMillinchip WOW. What an opportunity. I would have loved the maths post, but just signed a new contract for another year in Panama-as principal.
When ready for a move, I will definitely check out vacancies. Sounds like a perfect school-I guess the location isn’t too shabby either😊

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@MrJBlades Now John, is it worth coming back for and leaving the Caribbean for Withernsea…I know they’re very similar so it’s all down to the job😊

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@IainDale That’s awesome news…not because you’re getting a new hip (although that’s good) but because you’ll be all fit and good to go for your show Monday night.😳🙈😊

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@RadioX hey The Gasman. We’re on a road trip…in Panama-on our way to Santa Catalina beach for BH & hoping for lots of frivolity.

About 40° here & bright blue skies.

Zane, Bethany and Alice- all British teachers from Panama City. I’ve introduced them to Radio-& they love it.

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@YorkshireTea Thank you very much. I may have found a solution. It’s 19$ for a box of 80 from the States.

Desperate times call for desperate measures though.🙈

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

This shit is getting real!!!

I live in Panama without access to quality teabags…not to mention the very best @YorkshireTea

I have 3 months before I return home for a resupply…

…& have now broken the seal on my last bag…hoping that they’ll last…teabag rationing is real🙈

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@WalshEllie @YorkshireTea Thank you, but it’s not that easy & bloody expensive. Panama doesn’t have a postal service. Everything I order has to go to an address in Miami and then I have to pay to have it shipped to Panama.
Getting it to the States from the UK is expensive and then to Panama the same again

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@CameramanST @YorkshireTea I did bring over 1200 with me in August…I thought that would suffice….you’re right…I’m an amateur.haha

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@eliistender10 A teacher…and I am…but not took another 15 years after leaving before I realised this was actually what I wanted to do.

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@MrJBladesPPA @TUIUK @sencochat Not sure. In the Summer sometime. Probs in August. Why, are you going to try and avoid me?haha

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@MrJBladesPPA @TUIUK @sencochat Do you come to Panama? Let me know and pop in for a cuppa.

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

@mypetsi @tes Why did you leave? My next stop is Medellin. I love it there even more.

[Zane Powles MBE @zaneyteacher]

This international teaching malarkey in Panama is bloody awful.
Half term, so I came to Colombia and had a bimble around-it’s even better here.
A few jobs coming up at The Casco School, Panama. Have a look on @tes in the coming month
