Intro

So I’ve not really planned this. At the moment it’s just a blog about my trips to Ukraine.

I’d be honoured to monetise it for Ukraine. I’d genuinely recommend the Ukrainian mountains as a destination and the people are so friendly. It felt like a proper adventure. And genuinely safe – like the Scottish Highlands during the Blitz. But if you’re a wuss, you can still support Ukraine with a charity donation, eg Children of Heroes – childrenheroes.com

I might also upload the archive of my Schools Out newsletters and press releases. And my Green Party political columns in G Scene. Maybe even some teaching resources. Watch this space… Talking of which, I’m probably supposed to beg you to subscribe, so you don’t miss any of my forthcoming posts. No idea how to do that but my son Sacha worked it out.

In the meantime, coming soon: trip two, with Sacha.

Oh and I see half my readers are in Ukraine: Ласкаво просимо! You might not understand some of the cultural references (eg 80s British music) or idioms. Maybe ask Claude to explain?
