Many thanks, Gavin. Maggie took the photo when we were walking along the banks of the canal with Clarence Mill, Bollington near Macclesfield in the background. I am with our four sons whose ages must then have been around, 11, 9, 6 and 4, which makes it in the late 1980s. Clarence was a cotton mill where Maggie's dad worked 12 hour shifts for many years after returning from the Second World War. It is one of my favourite photos. I look forward to hearing your 'brief' notions soon.
Thank you very much, Elaine. I feel that there is a great deal to be leanred by being in the company of children and young people, and this goes for older people as well. I'll be exploring how changing approaches to learning may contain the seeds of a more peaceful and caring world.
Oh, my friend. Why is it that the quietest voices often carry an essential truth? I will share some brief notions on 'the child' with you soon. Please tell me about the image that accompanies the text. I imagine I know when it is and guess who it is but confirmation would bring me joy.
'The child flows through the adult and the adult returns to the child.'
I love the beautiful image of you and your grandson in the mornings! 🫶🏻 Can’t wait to read about what you learned from teaching. My husband and I don’t have children but are part of our niece and nephew’s lives and cousin’s children and children are such a joy to be around. 🥰
