I've had a ball reading some of the blogs by others in the class and learning more about them and their activities. I've commented on blog posts by Alice, Merryn, Charlotte and Hannah.


This is honestly a very short posting because I've said what I wanted to say in the other blogs and I don't really want to end up flogging a dead horse.


My wonderful resources are as follows
