Why I am not stressing about A-level mocks (and why you shouldn’t be either)


Hi, well I will be honest with you and say that my title is a bit of an overstatement. Meaning that naturally the idea of having mocks and the idea that the grade which I obtain will partly determine my “UCAS” predicted grade, does cause a little anxiety. However at the same time I amContinue reading “Why I am not stressing about A-level mocks (and why you shouldn’t be either)”

AND LET THE BATTLE OF THE YEAR COMMENCE: Cyclists vs walkers…


Long gone are the days where the promenade along my local seafront was the place to take a nice, peaceful, gratifying stroll down by the beach, on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Contory it is increasingly turning into a battle ground, hosting the fight between bikers and pedestrians. As you can guess, the former always wins.Continue reading “AND LET THE BATTLE OF THE YEAR COMMENCE: Cyclists vs walkers…”

With many parents stressing that at the moment; it would be an unsafe and unnatural environment. Just looking at the picture of the children in France, separated off by theContinue reading “Opinion: Return of the Primary schools, or Return of the Primary Risk?”

Mental Health Month- 2020: Scenarios and why you should not judge


Ask somebody what mental illness looks like, and many paint a rather confined picture, with each and every person who suffers being painted in the same way, with the same face sticking to all the stereotypical but false assumptions. They may even judge them as being weak. Yet this is not the case… Someone mayContinue reading “Mental Health Month- 2020: Scenarios and why you should not judge”

How to overcome the fear of negativity from people


Ok, so this is a bit of a more personal topic, and a rather vague title so I apologise, but I have a feeling that this will be relevant to many people. Not only myself. But it came to me too write about this, thinking about the way I felt promoting this, and potentially havingContinue reading “How to overcome the fear of negativity from people”

Why I think all 16-18 year old collage/sixth form students as well as apprentices should be provided with a basic understanding of politics


Hi, so I originally wrote this to send to the BBC’s “young reporters competition”. Now if technology lets me, I still will do. At the very last minute I expect, as that’s what tends to happen, when I face anything technological. Anyway here it is……. Do you find it shocking that a survey, carried outContinue reading “Why I think all 16-18 year old collage/sixth form students as well as apprentices should be provided with a basic understanding of politics”
