I am an English teacher from Cantabria. I love Ireland, a friendly country where I had a great time as a student. That's why the name for my blog was taken from one of the most popular fairies in Irish folklore.
This blog is ment to be a source of useful activities and interesting tools for my students. I hope you enjoy it!
