Anyone in the UK with young children knows what a double edged sword TV can be by encouraging learning and providing mental stimulation and of course fun but too much TV causes square eyes! This was written when my children were young.

November has…
Armistice, so put your hands in your pockets.
Also, sparklers, Catherine wheels and rockets.
Which light dark skies on each Guy Fawkes Day
Comfort your pets or keep them well away.
As some animals do fear the noise
But a lot of fun for girls and boys

In the UK we have only just got over Halloween and along comes Bonfire Night when for US followers is when we celebrate, Guy Fawkes failed attempts in 1603 to blow up parliament, with bonfires and fireworks although we no longer burn an effigy of the Pope but of Guy Fawkes himself.

October has…
A sight to feast your eyes upon the trees,
The gorgeous colours never fail to please.
As leaves mutate from green to gold and brown,
And early autumn sends them tumbling down.

The long hot and wet summer is over and autumn seems to be here early so many parents will understand the story behind the poem called Long John Silver.

I collaborated with the late Les Roberts on songs and musicals. Les wrote 'The Sea is Red' as his personal anthem to #autism and its lyrics remains one of my favourites.

@johnharris1969.bsky.social has got it totally right in the extract. Leaks from the Autumn White Paper show the UK Govt appears to be moving towards reduction of special needs support for future claimants at a time when it is even more needed than ever. maybeimamazed.substack.com/p/is-the-gov...
Is the government going to take away the rights of children with Special Needs?
It is beginning to look like it.

Ozzy suffered from Dyslexia and ADHD but still was able to become the legendary singer and songwriter before his death. My favourite Ozzy being Ozzy quote is “Still, one of the few good things about being dyslexic is that when I say I don’t read reviews, I mean I don’t read reviews.” RIP Ozzy

Hmm, it’s very unusual for them to do this - by far.

May 19th - 23rd is Walk to School Week, so here is a performance poem if anyone would like one.
Don’t just talk about it
get up and walk.
Walk where?
Walk to school.
Leave the car on your drive
start to feel you’re alive
when you walk,
walk to school...
