Speechless
For International Womens' Day, I'm going to tell you about something that happened to my youngest daughter just over two years ago. In her school (which she was having problems at, something both my wife and I have separately written about) they were having an end of...
#AdventBlogs – It doesn’t matter
Today we reach the end of our 11th series of the #AdventBlogs. It has been an honour and a privilege to curate this series for the 3rd time, and I will be doing so again for the 4th time when the series starts again on 1st December 2022. The series has included many...
#AdventBlogs – Nothing could be further from the truth
We are rapidly reaching the end of our series, although I have said that before on two occasions. Tomorrow will see the final post of the series, though the last two times I've said that I've had two more posts come in on each occasion. This time I think it really is...
#AdventBlogs – IT matters
Rather unexpectedly our series has been extended again, as two late posts have come in just as I was getting ready to publish the final post of the series. This is a good thing, and it means that our series will go on until this coming Saturday - unless any further...
#AdventBlogs – It doesn’t matter as much as you do
Unexpectedly our series has been extended by a last minute post so we will continue for another day at least. If any more posts come in (and they could) then we will keep going, but the end is definitely in sight for this series. Today at home its my first day back in...
#AdventBlogs – Death by a thousand cuts
We are now very close to the end of this series, which has been really enjoyable from my perspective and I hope yours too. As I type this on 2nd January, we have just two posts left to go - although by the time you read this on 4th January that may be out of date if...
#AdventBlogs – Don’t ask me why
Our series continues today with the 34th post but, sadly, one of the last in this series. I'm writing this on 30th December and at the moment the series will end, for you, tomorrow, on 4th January. There is still the possibility of a couple more posts coming in before...
#AdventBlogs – A brighter future
It may seem strange to call a blog series that always continues into January "The Advent Blogs" but it never fails to surprise me how many people contribute and therefore extend the series into January each year. Some people even make their contribution in January, so...
#AdventBlogs – Messages to my past self
Welcome to 2022. Let's hope it serves us better than 2020 and 2021 did. Our series has made it into January yet again and we have a few more posts lined up which will see us perhaps through the first week of January - however if you are thinking of contributing a...
#AdventBlogs – Messy, imperfect, beautiful
And so we reach the end of 2021. It has been a strange year. It began darkly for most, improved quite a lot in the middle, and is now ending darkly again for many. And we thought 2020 was a tough one. I think 2021 has been worse, because we had a short period where...
