Monday was a bank holiday, and I’ve taken this rest of this week off work. Teaching came to an end last week, and I felt I was overdue a bit of a break. Besides, Jake has his GCSE exams on at the moment, but he gets this week as a study break, so I thought [...]

I’ve taken this week off work to help Jake study for his GCSE exams. He’s had a few already, but he has this week off and then some major exams coming up, so I thought this would be a good chance to sit at the dining room table with him, supervise and give him a [...]
