Everyday emails to my pal about… everything!
Hey Friend! How are you doing? January passed in a blur and February seems to want to follow suit in a week of grey skies and pouring rain. Welcome, New Month. But hope springs forth – daffodil shoots are poking up all over the place and it gives me a quiet joy. I, for one … Continue reading Make it Make Sense…
Hi Friend, How are you doing? Are you, like me, on the countdown to the holidays? I’ve got one week until school’s out – whoohoo! I am so ready for the break and so are the children. Getting Little Dude out of bed in the mornings has got increasingly harder each day this week. He … Continue reading The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth
Hey Friend! How’s things with you? It’s not only darker here, in London, but also colder now too. The heating is on and the duvet coat, hat, scarf and gloves are essential when heading outdoors. Even though it’s freezing, there’s something quite satisfying about the crunch of frost-encrusted leaves underfoot. Older Miss is settling in … Continue reading Welcome to The School Office
Hey there! How goes it? The daffodils are out and the Magnolia blossoms are budding – Spring has sprung! The horrible stye has gone and my other eye has thankfully stopped twitching so, I feel somewhat normal again. I had my last day at my school this week and I’m feeling reflective. I am forty-six … Continue reading Embracing Quietness
Hey Friend! How’s it going? This morning the fog was so thick I could barely see the tree across the road, but the sun has since come out and burned all of that away. In fact, sitting in a sunny spot might make you forget it’s still March. I was thinking about switching to my … Continue reading Stressed? Me? Don’t be Silly…

While I love the crunch of crispy autumn leaves beneath my feet, I do not love the slimy sludge those leaves become after endless bouts of rain. That’s where we are … Continue reading School is in Session
Hello! How are you? It’s been a good week. Exams are winding down – practically finished actually so, my temp work has too. I’m grateful for the time though and my new friends. Exams finished just in time for me to attend Bubs’ Sport’s Day. It’s usually just me and my mum, but this year … Continue reading May The Best Man Win
Hey Friend, How’s it going? Hope you’re enjoying the summer sunshine! I for one will never complain about it being too hot. I mean who wouldn’t prefer the gorgeous sun and heat to the freezing cold? Long may it last as far as I’m concerned. So, it’s still exam season and I’m still invigilating. And … Continue reading Lessons Learned
Hey Friend, ‘Try your best’ is a phrase that’s often said. It’s said by friends, maybe your boss but mostly by parents to their children. I know I’ve definitely said it to mine over the years. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working as an invigilator for exams. The school isn’t too far … Continue reading Try, Try and Try again
Hey Friend, how’s things? You won't believe how cold it is at the moment. It is absolutely freezing here in England. The frost covering rooftops and grass looks gorgeous but who actually wants to be outside in this chill? I’m sure someone enjoys winter but I’m really not a fan. I do, however, enjoy Christmas … Continue reading There’s a bit of a chill in the air…
