Photographs, Work

Inspired by Tom Barrett’s Twitter post about his classroom, and asking for photos of others, I took these photos at the end of yesterday. Clearly, the chairs are up for cleaning, and the room is a little messy as we’d made biscuits and there’s a fair bit of drying art work lying around – but […]

The Weather

I’m often in two minds about discussing the weather. For one thing, it’s so fleeting – one sunny moment in this country could be closely followed by a raging storm. For another, it’s deeply personal – I love autumnal weather the most for it’s rich variety and colourful beauty. But the main reason I despair […]

An iPhone Based Update

Right now, I realise that the website has suffered from one of my usual lulls of activity. As always, a number of factors create these gaps. This time around it was work, being ill, difficulties managing time and a lack of appropriate motivation. My job being as it is, teaching children, it often means that […]

Listen To Him. He Knows Everything.

Nick Abbot, 24th October 2009: The Prime Minister was confident, his party was certain, the City seemed sure and economists and the press were agreed. Britain had come out of recession and green shoots pushed up through dead brush of the down turn and covered the landscape for as far as the eye could see… […]

Fifty Years Of Space Missions

An astounding infographic, showing space missions by target, country and whether the missions were successful. The bottom of the chart shows the most distant probes (the Voyagers and the Pioneers) and how far away they are (Voyager I is at ten billion miles). If you have a 4000 pixel monitor, this is what it’s for. […]

Farms & Animals, Lotherton Hall

Lotherton Hall Bird Garden

Lotherton Hall is a country house near Aberford, West Yorkshire, England. The building has been home to a number of prominent families, including the Nevilles (notably Archbishop George Neville, younger brother of Warwick the Kingmaker), the de Hothams, and finally the Gascoignes in 1825. Richard Trench Gascoigne took up ownership of the house following the death of his aunt Elizabeth, wife of Lord Ashtown, in 1893. It became the main […]

Finally, An F1 Team Using Their Loaf…

I apologise for the pun, but there has been a lack of joined up thinking from the teams in Formula One of late… This made me smile. Do you remember that clever Skoda advert? You know – the one where they make a giant cake version of the Skoda Fabia, which actually turns out looking […]
