I have had a number of conversations over the past couple of months with British, mostly English people, who reside here in Lanzarote, about their views of the UK. Its quite interesting how sheltered I have been to the news from the UK without much time to watch TV or even read a paper in […]
Really interesting talk by Dennis vanEngelsdorp who is the Acting State Apiarist for Pennsylvania's Department of Agriculture, mostly about bees, but also touching upon NDD.

This week is for special needs education. Ninety three percent of the people will not copy and […]
Lolly Borel of the 'Blog till you Drop' variety recommended a glance at the animation Logorama. l have taken a look and love it! If there are kids in the vicinity, send them to bed! The language is a bit rich even for a cartoon. Logorama from Marc Altshuler – Human Music on Vimeo.
