**DISCOUNT CODE FEATURED BELOW** I remember when I was little and the excitement associated with getting post. Grown-ups always got post, kids didn't. So when an envelope or package did arrive for me I was completely beside myself, particularly if it wasn't around my birthday or Christmas, well everyone gets post then. Now that I… Continue reading Ice and a Slice

Schweppes 1783 Explodes onto the Market
I'm pretty sure Schweppes tonic has been around since the dawning of time, well, 1871 if we're being precise. That was when they marketed Schweppes Indian Tonic – the first carbonated tonic. I will always think fondly of Schweppes Indian Tonic as it reminds me of my Papa. He loved a G&T, so there was… Continue reading Schweppes 1783 Explodes onto the Market
Leo and Bib

Bancon Homes Gin
A wee while ago I was contacted by Bancon Homes to ask if I would like to try their gin...I must confess, I was rather confused at first.

Miniatures – my new obsession
What do you do in your free time? Everyone has a hobby, what's yours?...What's mine? Hmmmm...talk to me about teaching and I am truly passionate, talk to me about Ancient Greek sculpture and you will lose hours, but I wouldn't say either are hobbies. People run, go to the gym, do yoga, football or Zumba...not… Continue reading Miniatures – my new obsession
Portobello Road – Juniper Saplings
At the end of the Summer Term I was once again humbled by the kindness and generosity of the children I teach, and of course their parents.
