Impressive! The REAL Hugh Grant wants to follow little old me! I imagine he’s inspired by the teaching/ pitting/ broken eye stuff that I post here occasionally!
Yeah right!

Mmmmmm detached retina surgery gives you a charming (and pretty blinking painful) eyeball bruise.
Sorry if this gives you ‘the ick’.

This afternoon was a touch manic, but great to see our felting project coming on.
We’ve learnt about types of fleece, washed some local fleece, dyed it and now carded it. Next week is wet fleeting and then needle felting.

Ridiculous chickens like to eat the clay from my scrap pile. It must have something they need in it but proves that they are weirdos.

I sometimes reflect on what led me to teach in small village schools. When I look back to things I loved as a child, I can see how they have steered my direction subconsciously. #MissRead and #VillageSchool was a book I read and loved when I was about 12 and it made an impact. #EduSkySmallSchools
