Well, it's Creative Writing I teach, rather than English - but yep, guilty as charged...
Strewing wonderful examples and seeing students gobble them up is one of the best parts of a truly *great* job :)

Weirdos,assemble!
High winds meant my windows were in danger of being pelted by my fruit trees, so I had a mini-harvest :) Sat in my kitchen waiting to be preserved - baskets if apples and greengages :) I don't usually start doing my 'kitchen witch' act for another month at least...

Work has been enjoyable, but intense this week. This weekend I'll be writing up a storm (quite literally, for my folk horror) and getting creative, making more tiny books. As so often with me, everything leads to the sea. What creative things are you doing this weekend?
