Five Things I Know: I know how to analyse the writer's use of language and structure. I studied English Literature at GSCE, A-Level, and degree level but it was only when I started teaching English that I think really mastered the art of analysis. I love pulling the words apart and interrogating the text to… Continue reading A Knowing List
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I have been feeling nostalgic lately for those Google Reader days when I followed many, many blogs and would check my blog feed aggregator excitedly for the latest posts from my favourite blogs. Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are now my go to places to wile away some time. Then I… Continue reading A Blog Reader
I have been wanting to write something since we started this period of social distancing but I hadn't really known where to start. I kept opening up this space to share my thoughts but those thoughts became elusive, hiding in the shadows. Part of the problem is that I associate this place with normality and… Continue reading A Spring Clean
Today is day 12 of my #100daysofwritinghappy and one of the unexpected aspects of this challenge is choosing what to write about each day. When I stop and think, I realise just how many things bring me joy. For today's writing, I wanted to write a really specific list of things that make me happy:… Continue reading A Happy List
Austin will be three weeks old tomorrow so I thought it was high time I introduced him. This, however, gave me a dilemma.

Despite the fact that I rarely update it, I love the theme of my Raising Evelina blog so much that I have decided to bite the bullet and use it over here too. I was wavering because of the lack of sidebar (and I do love a sidebar) but I figured the large majority of… Continue reading A New Look
What a summer! A fantastic holiday in the Cape Cod area and oodles of time with my Linapie has meant for a fun and busy month of August. With only a week after we returned from holiday before starting work, it has felt like I haven't had chance to catch my breath. Now I am… Continue reading Summer Break
I have just been on a boat on the Norfolk Broads with Mum, Dad and Lina for a couple of days so I am sitting at the computer swaying slightly but feeling pretty good about the face that I managed to post a picture every single day in July using the Fat Mum Slim prompts.I won't… Continue reading Mission Accomplished
Welcome to my new blog! I’m Kate and I’ve been blogging since 2005 but as I have just started on a teacher training course, I have had to do some extensive online housekeeping. As a result, this is my new web-based home. The blog name comes from the feature wall in our bedroom. The colour… Continue reading A New Start
