One of my favourite things to do as homework is get students to find a poem they think should be studied is lessons. Today, a student brought this poem and the class loved exploring it.

Today’s reading and the last day of the holiday. Quite a dark one that reminds me of Evelyn Waugh‘s The Loved One.

This summer’s reading. A bit of a mixed bag.

I often take myself for a day out exploring London. Yesterday I found a Moomin Shop in Covent Gardens.

Which character from literature resembles you the most? I’d have to do say Edmund from the Chronicles of Narnia? Happily betray from sibling for some Turkish delight.

I do lots of running over the holidays and see lots of interesting sights. However, this was the strangest - a burnout car in Wales.
