Remembering The Sacrifice

One Great Grandfather did come home he was in the house hold Calvary. I didn't know him but if he hadn't of come home I wouldn't be here.

Silent Sunday

Autumn comes but once a year

Autumn comes but once a year...

Then the fair wind starts to blow,

A mistral upon my eyes starts to swirl

A path leads to certainty 

Of adventures more

A carpet of leaves pathes my way 

Singing a symphony in my heart

Upon my way

Learning as I go

What am I doing ?

I'm doing an Early years Foundation degree.

I've gone back into education.

I wasn't confident at first but now I am.

Of course there will be the odd time I'll go barmy...

Like the time I discovered I should have read quite a few chapters of another book.

Confidance is growing.

Like the reception children finding their feet.

Hearing the same 'Why did the chicken cross the road joke "....

Wondering when did children's play get SO complicated ?

Debunking myths , finding the truths in the endless byocracy ...

There is much talk about child led learning, adult initiated learning etc, every child matters etc (I could go on)

But what about the children teaching us ?

Well I tell you this it's the best way to learn !!

Rollie Mafia Cat V Wilkinsons Toy mouse

So Rollie and Jack were sent very kindly some cat toys and food by Wilkinsons.

As with everything Rollie thinks it's his property ... there in lies the problem .

But there was a sinister twist in events ....

It was like the mafia had descended into my home ...

It was horrific ...

The cats are supervised when playing and it does warn you if you see a change in your cats behaviour , then take away the toy.

We all know what cats can be a tad naughty sometimes.

But this .. event ...

I'll be sleeping with one eye open ...

This is no fault with the toy (perhaps the ears could be secured better) but with Rollie if he's cross he's cross ....

Not sure if this was the reason ....

Rollie says thank you very much to Wilkinsons for the mouse and if you could just arrange the postman to eat he would very much appreciate that.
