When we lived on the Oakmount estate in the 70s, our son first went to Mrs Vincent’s nursery school at the Methodist Church Hall Fryern Hill.

The first trip was to [Read more…] about My Belgium History Trip – Ypres and Chocolate

September 4, 2015 By Allison Symes 6 Comments

Parenthood changes your outlook in many ways. One way is when it comes to secondary school education and beyond, with exams in the offing, you can be guaranteed every August without fail your blood will boil.  You will be annoyed. Why?

Because, without fail, somebody will claim, as the national exam results are much improved, the exams must be getting easier. That same old tired mantra comes out every August. Your blood boils every August. QED. [Read more…] about Always Annoyed in August (Are Exams Easier?)

Chandler's Ford Age Concern on Bournemouth Road.

The Age Concern Carol Service at the Chandler’s Ford Methodist Church this afternoon was brilliant.

The Rev. Peter Cornick made us think about the true meaning of Christmas. Is Christmas just about shopping and eating? He asked.

Both the Thornden Wind Band and the Toynbee School choir performed beautifully at the carol service. [Read more…] about Age Concern Carol Service At Methodist Church
