If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? It's interesting reading other people's responses, most seem to be either coffee shops or bookshops or a normal or unnormal combination of both.

What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? A true sense of purpose. However, I just read an extract from something Kurt Vonnegut was saying about talking to his wife. Apparently, his thoughts are that we actually on Earth to 'fart about'... so I deduce that the real answer is... Continue Reading →
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? I answer this hopefully on my homepage. I'm doing this for teachers: to give them knowledge of great children's books to use in the primary classroom.

I think the main things that bring me joy are: being with people I can relax and laugh with; being in sunlight; watching animals play; listening to... Continue Reading →
What are you curious about? They say curiosity killed the cat, well, in that case, I'd have none of my seven lives left (love a conjoined metaphor!). I'm interested in most things. Too many I've always found, as I can't concentrate on one thing and get really good at it. I suppose it's one of... Continue Reading →
Write about a random act of kindness you've done for someone. This is definitely a cringe inspiring question. I really dislike having to 'toot my own horn'.
