This month feels too long. Not because I’m looking forward to Christmas or my birthday, or anything else associated with this season, but because January always feels so boring – and I dread it way before it starts. I was speaking to a friend recently about how I look forward to holidays; planning, travelling and organising but when I get there I start thinking about how it’s only a matter of time before it ends.

I’ve started listening ro education-related podcasts again, particularly around the subject of support during transitions and inclusive curricula. They are reminding me of Brighton.
