After supply teaching in Lancaster encouraging GCSE pupils to get to grips with algebra and the outdated confusing language of Dickens with Scrooge in a Christmas Carol. Year 9 much more enjoying Boys Dont Cry about a modern teenage pregnancy with real language and swear words! Breezy walk /jog to clear my mind over 3 tumps from the fell road which skirts the sweeping Bowland Fells and looking out west to moody clouds and low shafts of silvery sunlight over distant Blackpool with its famous Tower silhouetted.Chris Pearson14/10/2022
