Nostalgia

Writing this blog often prompts hidden/lost  memories and that was certainly true of a couple of days ago when I set questions on children’s books. It reminded me of my happy days as a primary school class teacher. It was one of the most precious times both for me and the children was the class book we were reading. I vividly remember children desperate for the next chapter of a story. That was obviously where the Story Teller started to evolve. Many times I have met ex pupils who waxed lyrically about those times. Recently met someone from my first ever class!

Today’s exercise ride was delightful because of the weather and as I went through woodland seeing the wonderful Bluebells. There are to me a quintessentially British flower of our woodland (I know they can be seen in other countries). I may well put a picture I took last year in tomorrow’s blog.
