I have a friend with the most lovely garden – it used to be a bit of a jungle too. My chum thought long and hard about what she actually wanted to achieve with her plot of land. It’s not vast but it has some very good aspects and after looking at many sites, decided …
It can sometimes be a wonder to some people as to whom the idea of distance learning was created. If we have always been near our school or work based training is provided at our desk or within easy reach of our office, we assume it’s always that easty. To get further education, by way …
One evening recently I was watching a fascinating programme on Henry VIII – he was a learned chap before he became King, but his grandmother was the force behind all his future learning too.

It seemed awful in my day – centuries ago, but my children’s generation have had much more but at last online learning tools have reduced …
I can clearly remember being in the lower half of achievement for my class when it came to maths. There was something about the way it was presented that put the fear of god into me. Now that I’m very much the mature adult and able to research absolutely anything and achieve whatever I want …
