I know there will be changes to my body in the future. I think I am prepared for that. The thing that I am not looking forward to, is that one day my voice will change and my words both spoken and written may leave me. I have had some symptoms which apparently can beContinue reading “Words are important”

Lost for words…
My words are important to me. I have always had a love of words. Of poetry. Of poets and for me I have also always loved William Shakespeare. I like many types of poetry, especially those that tell a story like Pam Ayres’ work. My particular favourite – which I always wanted to read toContinue reading “Lost for words…”
Should we ‘should?’

I remember growing up that we had ‘Annuals’ books that had stories in them, but also used to haveContinue reading “Games are not just for children…”

I have worked in radio previously – many years ago – as a co-host on a breakfast show and had toContinue reading “Cognitive Competence”
