In a slightly recursive way, this blog post is a blog post about a blog post which features me and my blog posts... and also my new post...
Thanks to Ollie Bray for his kind words on his blog about my new job, and the "new vision"

On the Single Malt front, my bottle of Ardbeg Correyvreckan has been delayed, but I hope to get hold of it soon: perhaps in time for some celebratory drams. I'll bring the last bit up to the SLF, Ollie.

Just back from a quick trip down to Rochester and the Royal Naval Dockyards at Chatham, where I went with fellow "Pie Society" colleagues today. The weather was kind - thanks to "the Major" for driving the landship down...
Caught up with some nice ales from the NELSON BREWERY. I like the tagline: "England expects every man to drink our beer"...
Here's a few piccies from the day...


Update: Ardbeg arrived safely...

On the way home from a fancy dress party, my Noddy Holder hat blew off and I ended up in someone's front garden chasing it round in a gyre... Of course the storms were nothing compared to the problems created by the weather in the Philippines. See this BBC NEWS article for more on the effects of Hurricane Durian. Interestingly, durian is one of the top search phrases on Google for leading people to GeographyPages - not sure why... Geography and Music (Cont.....

Picture: David Rayner CfBT Conference for Geography for new KS3 Curriculum Thanks to the 70+ Heads of Geography and other colleagues in various capacities who attended the CfBT Eastern Region Conference at the Holiday Inn in Norwich yesterday. It was hard work (especially as I followed it up with 2 hours plus at a parents evening...) but enjoyable, and good to talk to people and get their ideas for how they were going to be "creatively subversive...." Particular thanks to David Rayner and Ruth Totterdell, the National Subject Leads, my RSA colleagues John Harrison and Katharine Hutchinson, John Lyon from the GA, and Jon Wolton from the RGS, and of course all the delegates, particularly Lucy and Clare. A few images below, taken by me: What to ditch / add ? Katharine's 'significance' workshop Importance statement John Harrison getting "funky" Ruth in the morning... The venue... GA welcome banner... If you were present and want any other copies of the d...
