This is my quiet, non-work space to ramble about the things that matter to me. Make of it what you will.
My interests: words, language, communication, internet, business, food, people… and gardening.
- Words – Language and the way that it creates meaning, power and shapes our lives.
- Education – To watch a child learn is a delight. To see their love of learning and their confidence in their own ability to learn undermined is tragic. Hence my interest in the politics of education, and the conflict between the idea of education as a development of the mind and the reality of the requirements and practices within educational institutions.
- The Garden – We’ve moved into a great house with a terrible garden. My garden project will take years to complete.
