Arrived home today to learn that Dan had just 20 laps of the garden left on his walk from Leicester to Goodison Park, Everton. He started the walk for charity (the NSPCC) three weeks ago, 118 miles in total around the garden, day after day. Yes, the weather has been kind to him, unlike Speedo … Continue reading

School’s Out – Day 29
Three weeks ago Daniel started walking around the garden with a 118 mile journey ahead of him. He’d raised nothing for the NSPCC at that point and hoped to raise £100. Having now walked . 114 miles (in laps of the garden) he has £1061 raised and that doesn’t include the £239 gift aid that … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 28
What a very difficult position we are all in! Teachers and some other school staff have been working as normal, whether remotely setting lessons and responding to the children and/or in school enabling the key workers (school staff are too don’t forget), to go to work. Of course, the general public see teachers as grown … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 27
These days are now flying by, possibly with the planning, speculation and continuation of the work that has never stopped. I hope people are okay and can do what they need to, with the belief that in time, we will get through this. The lack of proper interaction for many is really hard and I … Continue reading

Stop, Step Back and Keep Your Distance!

I do appreciate that over time things start to appear normal, for some. For others who have lost family or friends, maybe … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 25
5 weeks and Easter included, 35 days of school with a difference. I love this gorgeous weather but mix it with a bit of complacency and you have – Covid catastrophe. People, this is not over and cracking on with life, I’m all for it but be sensible, please. Boris is making his announcement I … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 24
End of an official school week for most but for a few, the VE Day Bank Holiday will be another day at school. The sun shone today and there were some more laps around the garden for Dan, raising money for the NSPCC. He didn’t quite do as many as planned but just under 5k … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 23
Another day at home today (home schooling). I think it is only the third day I have not been in school since lockdown. I think being at school is easier than being at home and I really do feel for the many parents trying to juggle the roles of a parent along side a worker, … Continue reading
