The PGCE I am on is a placement based course with a planned 8 months out of 9 being in schools. We do have university and specialist training days interjected but for the most part we are learning on the job! So, the big question I've been asked by lots of people is, how am [...]
Just thought I'd let you know before you read on that this is a sad post. I can't remember if I've spoken about our fur baby before. She's a beautiful doglet who has been part of our family for about 7 years. We rescued her from The Dog's Trust, in Wales, after she'd spent 1 [...]
Exploring what is the 'new normal'...

No one seems to be chattering about secret admirers or how many red roses they’re going to buy. If you’re not so into this February ritual but still like to do something then I [...]
Last night I went to the theatre. To watch a play, which turned out not to be the best of my life but certainly worth seeing for it's mixture of ideas and the story, which is one I may pick up for a read. There is not a moment more hyggestund than a moment [...]
