My thanks to Mark White for suggesting I move into online communication. You can find his really thought-provoking arts blog at Whitemarkarts. Mark, now freelance, was an outstanding Head of Art at Cranbrook School and is a brilliant art-historian. We have various ties which bind us, one of which is the appalling treatment I had at the hands of a sneering Art teacher circa 1962 at Kingston Grammar School.
This – and my own general sloth at school (save for prodigious efforts on the sports field) – did not put me off spending 35years as a teacher. I was never a sneering type and so my cup has been more than half-full these last four decades. There’s plenty to smile about and this site will, I hope make visitors smile, think, engage, outrage, enrage, stimulate, giggle even.
If language and words that fit occasions are what you seek visit me occasionally and see what I have got. If you want an alternative take on news of the day; want a funny view of things – or a sad one; want to know what a 60 year old who has spent all his life with younger people thinks, well come back to me. I’m moving around and you will know where. I read a lot and you will know what. Things that move me will, I hope, move you.

Hi Sorro – A long time I know, however I was wondering if you might have an email address I could catch you at?
All the best
