Coming from a grim mortarboarded teacher background at my grammar school over 50 years ago, how much more could I have learnt and absorbed, given more modern ways to visually show […]
I was really hoping that my first post in 2021 would be full of positives, and hope for a return to some form of normal lifestyle during the opening months.
