Tuesday 7th February was Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday. Bolton School, Girls’ Division,celebrated the UK’s most famous novelist’s birthday in style, as all the pupils and the staff, came to school, dressed as a Dickens’ character. The corridors were awash with Ghosts, Miss Havishams, and street urchins. I even had a glimpse of a Barnaby Rudge-not an [...]

(For once, this is not about books or GCSE English Tuition in Bolton, Bury or Manchester. ) I have had Frankie-the-lurcher for just over a week now. She is loving, intelligent and full of joy. She was rescued in Barnsley, Yorkshire by Pat Senior of Lexus Rescue, based in Blackrod Bolton. Like all [...]

I was thinking about enthusiasm last night. I went to my daughter’s parents evening with my daughter(how things have changed for the good!) and couldn’t help noticing how we left certain rooms with different levels of energy and smiles. This was accumulative over the two hours we were there and then this morning, driving home [...]

Apparently this poem by Rosssetti and set to music by Holst, was voted the United Kingdom’s favourite carol . Today, walking my two dogs around a deserted park, I found myself singing the haunting words, aware of earth’s shut down, aware too of the pleasure felt because of the harshness, the irrelevance of man’s desperate will to power.

Pablo Neruda’s poem embraces the suffering endured by human beings because they choose to differentiate themselves so keenly and resolutely from one another. The I/thou relationship so fraught with misunderstanding, isolates the self, weighting the ‘I’ with the unbearable burden of being. Yet ‘all of us are dust and sand.’ We have lost our [...]

Beyond all this, the wish to be alone: However the sky grows dark with invitation-cards However we follow the printed directions of sex However the family is photographed under the flagstaff— Beyond all this, the wish to be alone. Beneath it all, desire of oblivion runs: Despite the artful tensions of the calendar, The life [...]

I read this poem just now and found myself listening to its sounds : rather like the pulse of a human heart or the ticking of a clock in the corner of life’s room. I almost feel like I am holding someone’s wrist and counting out each pulse, each possibly diminishing breath. How easeful and affecting [...]

Now as at all times I can see in the mind’s eye, In their stiff, painted clothes, the pale unsatisfied ones Appear and disappear in the blue depth of the sky With all their ancient faces like rain-beaten stones, And all their helms of silver hovering side by side, And all their eyes still fixed, [...]

Jeanette Winterson’s reading of her new book, Why be happy when you could be normal? at the Royal Exchange on Sunday 30th October was wonderful in the most real sense of the word. She read parts of her autobiography almost in a trance like, dancing way, as if the words had come back to her from [...]

One of the most useful and practical techniques advocated by NLP involves taking responsibility for your life and behaviour at cause rather than at effect.
