Give yourself time

I'm getting excited again!!!!  But first to fill you in on the events of recent months because once again, its been a while.  I won't apologise, life sometimes just gets in the way. On the surface of it, I guess things would look pretty boring really.  Work continues to get busier and busier and I am …

Time is a ticking!!!!

I find myself about half way through my year long sabbatical and think it might be time for a quick review.  I have just been getting on with life and enjoying the process but am becoming increasingly aware of time.  I am feeling a subtle pressure from some people to make a decision about whether …

Mental Health…. Ahhh I get it!

An insightful and thought provoking month.  Its been a hard one for lots of reasons and with a week left until Christmas I have found my self a little overwhelmed with life and have been struggling for a week or two.  I wanted to write about it for a few reasons; I have been open …

Christmas fair time

One week to go and things are really starting to feel real!  Last week at work seemed to just be full of 'lasts' which has brought to reality the fact that life is about to change...… a lot!  I'm really feeling sad to be leaving and the reality of not doing something for a living …

Neither here nor there

3 weeks to go!  I haven't written for a few weeks because I keep changing my mind on what to write about.  Well, there is a lot going on so there is no wonder.  In all honesty, I'm all over the place! I am really enjoying working with children again at Forest School.  My usual …

The take over begins!

6 weeks to go until I finish!  This term I am having to step back so that Joe can have a trial run at managing the Forest School.  This was always part of the planned transition but it seemed so much easier when I was planning it last September.  In reality, its hard! Its not really …
