Supporting Sally

Trish Burgess Posted on14/06/201007/04/2016 Lucky Dip 7 Comments

A friend and colleague of mine, apparently inspired by my good self (ahem… ), has started a new blog. She has only written two posts so far but already she has me hooked and I think her humour and style will appeal to you too.

I have known Sally for many years as she is a teacher at my son’s former primary school. The formidable Year 2 dragon (surely not?)  inspired my son with his creative writing. I still have a fantastic story he wrote then: “Back in Time to Ancient Greece” featuring my son and his Greek ‘friend’ Draco driving round Lincolnshire in a Volvo and pranging said Volvo into a Happy Shopper.

I digress. Sally would say herself that she is not good with ‘pooters’. I help her with ICT on a Friday morning and gradually she is getting the hang of it. The thought of her managing the intricacies of a blog is enough to add a few more grey hairs to both our heads but she’s determined and, with lots of encouragement, she will succeed.

The trip she is planning this summer will be truly inspiring to any parent reading about it. I will let you have a read of her two fledgling posts and you will see what I mean.

Pop over for a visit:  Sally in South Africa

    You should have her add an email and reader subscribe button. 🙂

    All in good time ladies! She just started this weekend so I will have a face to face session with her soon and suggest subscribe buttons, how to do photos etc!

    Good on her for doing something so worthwhile (while I sit around moaning that my Sainsburys To You delivery is a bit late). Will follow with interest.

    Trish…you are one sweet lady to put this on your blog,especially about Rory's creative writing. I know now where he gets his talent from! But you never said anything about photos, buttons or stuff. Am now in panic mode and the gin bottle is nearly empty after pooter efforts last weekend. Is it permissable to write a blog entry about New Look knickers? Don't know etiquette for that, although if Crystal can do Mars Bars….

    @Sally – Buttons and photos and stuff will come soon enough!
    Readers would be delighted to know about New Look knickers: etiquette demands it, in fact.
