Where are you now?

5 things you didn´t know about us...

1.) Grandad Gaskell (Tom) was born and raised in Zimbabwe. One day when it´s safe, Maria´s going there... **********************

November 14th 2008: So today the school called me in about Thomas. His teacher is having problems getting through to him. ´He seems to think he´s Harry Potter´she said. Thomas studied her for a while and then said ´No, he´s a character played by Daniel Radcliffe´.
November 11th 2008: Thomas was complaining about school being boring today, especially maths.
