: About Me

A business lecturer teaching office practice to 16-19 year olds; giving them the skills to go out into the workplace. Have teaching resources published and endorsed by the examination board, but love the instant publishing of Helium articles.

Now joined by a one eyed Russian Hamster who loves drawing blood. Recently joined by three rescued battery hens who are plodding around the garden.
