>have decided to change the apperance of the blog in light of my new approach to incoprporate all elements of life... it has pink instead of dark black - maybe about to have a girly phase (slightly unlikely) but is lighter and brighter - hoping for a lighter and brighter new year too (well it [...]
I was on the verge of starting a few new blogs - one for my photography, one for the home learning and one for my education consultancy work... but wait a minute - that was the old lou (the librarian who wanted to classify and compartmentalise her life)... so I've decided to stick with this [...]

>Well only 7 months since my last post... I think the build up to the big Make School Make Sense Campaign by the NAS, and the commitment and energy it required, coupled with 8 months of exhausting emotional strain just took effect. We needed a break... and we've had one And we're back! How easy [...]
