Thoughtful Tuesdays: Misunderstandings

News, Thoughtful Tuesday
By Eithne Cullen Welcome to my Thoughtful Tuesday page for January 2025. For many people, a New Year means new beginnings. That’s certainly the case for us as we embark on our new theme: ‘Misunderstandings’. I have some lovely pieces to share with you relating to that theme. You may know that ...

Monday Moments: Meaning, Language And Learning

Monday Moments, News
Introduced By Amber Hall Happy New Year, readers! For my first ‘Monday Moments’ of 2025, I’d like to introduce our new theme: ‘Misunderstandings’. Language is a slippery thing.

Thoughtful Tuesdays: Place And Memory

News, Thoughtful Tuesday
By Eithne Cullen In my previous pages looking at our theme of Change, I've featured writing about memory, faces and places and forgetting.
