Monday Moments: Looking Between The Lines

Monday Moments: Recipes For Success

Monday Moments, News

Monday Moments: Falling Into Fall

Monday Moments, News
Introduced by Holly King This week, we’re 'Falling Into Fall'; the temperature has dropped dramatically, leaves are falling from the trees, sunshine has been replaced with rain giving way to heavy-clouded skies and, to round it all off, I fell over!

Monday Moments: Resilience

Monday Moments, News
Introduced by Holly King Are you a resilient person? Would that be a word you, your friends, family or colleagues use to describe you? It’s quite a compliment, to be called resilient, but what are the words that go along with that? 'Bouncing back', 'Getting knocked down but getting back up ...

Monday Moments: Finding Your Balance

Monday Moments, News
Introduced by Holly King The theme of balance (and colour) makes me think of a tightrope walker, trying to get across the rope without falling. They’re in some lovely green and blue acrobatic costume that’s been highly patterned to make them look exciting for the viewers, and the ceiling of the ...

Monday Moments: The Gender Agenda

Monday Moments, News
Introduced by Holly King Welcome to this week’s theme: The Gender Agenda. We all like to sort information into boxes that have a defined space and absolute borders with a lid that we can open, peek at what’s inside and close it to keep what’s inside contained. But is that how ...
