• Walking back from my supper
    On the pub I passed what appears to be Snaresbrook Courts accross a pond full of irritated ducks and geese and swans. ( it’s scold night. I guess they’re feeling it too.)

    On the side of Snaresbrook road there is an old oak tree and tonight it is dusted in snow. My instincts told me tobtry and take a picture, even though it really was quite dark and there was only sodium street light. But what I got was this great, Blair Witch kinda picture. It’s a bit of avdpooky place at night. Half edge of London and half edge of Epping Forest. Oooer!

  • On my way to London, to visit the Forest School in Snaresbrook tomorrow, I nodded off to sleep while leaving Swindon. I woke as we pulled into the next station.
    All I could see on the platform was a sign saying Parkway. Being half befuddled with sleep I assumed it meant Bristol Parkway, which would have me going in the wrong direction!

    I asked the guy behind me where we werejust as I noticed the rest of the sign – Didcot Parkway – phew!

  • I made the wrong choice going via the M4 this morning, I should have gone over the mountains. It takes a little longer, but there isn’t so much traffic and the Heads of the Valleys Road has been so juch improved over the last couple of years.

    I had a great day at Tylorstown Primary when I got there.

    I had an interesting time with years 5 and 6. They had been talking about passing on stories. I told them about Viking Vik, which is all about passing on the stories I was told as a child.

    We made a new story for Viking Vik about fishing which incorporated another story my mother used to tell me about how she would catch and cook one shrimp at a time when she was a child in Norway. She used a toy saucepan and a candle to cook with. Maybe I could use it one day!

    Thanks for a great day to everyone.
