Goodbye Speedy
A car is just a car - until it isn't. For me my car isn't just a sign of my freedom and independence but it holds so much more meaning than that. I don't tend to get sentimental towards objects very often, I'm not a horder and once something has lived it's life or run… Continue reading Goodbye Speedy
Teddo Play
Being a qualified HLTA (higher level teaching assistant) and a SEN support assistant for the past 12 years means a lot of the play I do with Ellie is very structured and has some element of learning to it.

Wonderbly Personalised Childrens Books – Review
I often wondered whether Ellie would lose the passion she has for stories as she grows up or whether it will continue to bloom.
