Monthly Roundup #45 - November '21

Hello, and welcome as always to my monthly update! There were a few things going on in November on top of my usual teaching week, but to be honest, my main focus was to get things ready for January as best I could, as December is set to bring about a lot of change in the form of my wife and I’s first baby!

I’m sure everyone will agree that lockdown over the winter months is a lot less appealing than when it’s nice outside. Hopefully restrictions can continue to gradually lift, of course, but I’ll be very happy to be able to make the most of the good weather and longer days until then!

Well it wasn’t much of a “happy new year” here in England, was it?! January brought about another strict lockdown for us, which quickly put a stop to any optimistic thoughts that 2021 might be any different… Despite there still being nothing on the gigging side of things, I had managed to return to 2 of my 4 schools before Christmas, and was hoping that January would bring about a return to the 3rd, but on the first day of term the schools were closed to the majority of children once again.
