Exciting news! Wisbech Projects CIC has been awarded funding from Arts Council England to run a project for the town for the next few months. I’m very proud of this achievement and I’d like to thank all those who’ve been cheerleaders and supporters to get us to this stage of arts funding. The project is …

Walking for Exercise and Reading!
I miss going into town. It’s strange not meeting up with people (except via Zoom!) and strange to not just be out and about. However, I’ve always been a techie and worked online with people across the country and indeed across the world, so it’s good to be able to use these skills to do …
Temporary Schooling at Home?
While the majority of children are now home from school, why not discover all the other ways of learning outside of a school environment, for them and for all of us? Home educated children can and do succeed academically and in life, it is entirely possible to build an education and a career without using …
Resilient Communities
How many of you have heard of the amazing work being done by People and Animals CIC and their team of volunteers?

As you can see by the picture, I’m letting you all know about Rima’s Ladies Arts CIC this week. I’ve mentioned Rima before, she’s worked hard locally on community events and activities, comes along to the Penelope Club at Alexandra House, and is generally a lovely lady, very supportive of what I do as well …
Happy New Year!
Happy New year to all! I believe we are supposed to be making promises to ourselves at this time of year? While I think it’s worth taking time every now and then, if at all possible, to think about future plans, at this time of year the grey and cold just makes me want to …
Penelope Club
I’m writing this later in the week than usual as it’s been a busy few days. Rose Fair has started, and it was wonderful to be at the Mayor’s “At Home” this evening, which was held at St Peter’s and St Paul’s church. The flower arrangements are all stunning; I will add some photos online, …
