About Me
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
My Books
Below are the books I have written.
Ruth Robinson's Year of Miracles
Women Behaving Badly
Dead Ernest
Cassandra's Secret
How dare he actually WRITE something that conveyed how he felt. Doesn't he know yet that schools only want to turn out robots?
ReplyDeleteI know, Kay. But if she was going to criticise, she could have had a go at his grammar/spelling!
DeleteNaughty boy. Adding to the stress of overworked child minders. I have heard that some have to work a thirty week year or was it sixty weeks? Yet to meet a teacher who was any good at anything.
ReplyDeleteAdrian, I was married to a headmaster, and the stress (he was a perfectionist)eventually killed him. So I'm afraid I can't agree with you. Maybe you've only met the lazy ones?
DeleteMy maths teachers never had reason to write "well done" under my homework... most of the time, I didn't even do my homework.
ReplyDeleteMeike, you surprise me! How did you get away with it?
DeleteI have always resented teachers who try to squash creativity. Music isn't "necessary" either, or art, or poetry, or travel, or any of the myriad lovely things that make this world enjoyable. And yet, they ARE necessary - if you want to expand your horizons and learn about life.
ReplyDeleteMrs.S, I hope she saw the funny side. If not, she shouldn't be teaching!
DeleteMaybe he/she wrote it with a smile.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Keith!
