I hope all of my loyal readers have had a great Christmas. My goodness the weather is all over the place one minute really mild (wore my shorts on the bike) and today ice everywhere. I think that is why I have had my first cold for two years. Hopefully a good walk later.

Read an inspirational article in yesterday’s Guardian about one of the schools that visit us at Wick Court. The school is called Surrey Square and it is a school I visited on my Blunderbirds tour in 2016. They are doing wonderful things for the refugee families who use the school that the state has sadly neglected.
