The competition to design the cover for this year's Holymead Primary School Christmas concert...

...was won by Iris Cleghorn (Year Six) - and she is multi-talented into the bargain! Not only did she win the competition, but she also sang and played an instrument in the concert too!!!

And just look at this cover - it is so delightful!!!

Pantster or Planner Extraordinaire??? A thought for NaNoWriMo

No way is the wrong way
  For some pups it’s an enormous thrillto set out on this wild ridewith no inkling how they’re gonna filleven just one side…
…of paper, let alone a whole ream.But somehow they take all the bits and cookthem up into a tumbling streamof words that make up a whole book!
Others plan with mathematical precision,with calculators and spreadsheetsand never need any revisionand reckon their method beatsany other.
Cos they’d ruther
swear by their own way,than say
that this way, nor that way either
is the right waynor that way neither. Pantster or planner?

The Fount of all Wisdom - Not!!! This was a poo-puzzler....

I'm obviously the fount of all wisdom cos of Jeff-Dog. Whenever I'm out with him I'm often approached by someone saying: "You've got a dog..."

Um - yeah.

"You've got a dog, so what I want to know is this...."

This approach immediately makes me feel like there's a police car behind me and I'm about to be accused of some heinous dog-crime. And I wait. And Jeff-Dog waits... And we can hear dogs howling in the distance as the world falls silent; the odd tumbleweed rolls down the street, our breath is running out and we're turning purple. I know Jeff-Dog is turning purple under all that fur just by the look on his face...

Yeah. So today. We're ambling along, when we're approached by a man who says: "You've got a dog, so what I want to know is this - why do you dog-people pick up your dog-poo, tie it up into little black bags - and then..." (Jeff-Dog and I, we're already holding our breath at this stage) "...and then why do you have to tie the bags into the trees?"

Eh???

I think probably, 'gormless' would be the most descriptive word to use for our expressions as our minds race away trying to work out the incomprehensible picture this question has given us....

Wot???
Poo in the trees... (poo in bags in the trees)... This is Jeff-Dog going: "Wot????"

Excerpt from 'Woofs of Wisdom on Writing' by CorgiScribe; illustrated by Susan Alison

Night and/or day

Some pups rival the nocturnal habits of owlstapping away into the bowelsof night getting down their howlsof creative birth.
They end up with permanent writerly scowls,bags under their eyes down to their jowls,loads of prose with not enough vowels,and an increasing girth.
But despite the leg-aching midnight prowls,the frustrated and often nonsensical growls,the slapping of faces with wet towels– for some of us it can be of great worth!
Others of us need to sleep at nightand only work in the lightof day.That is to say:
don’t be waryif you varyfrom the ‘norm’.

Because there isn’t one.

The lovely Otto being a very, very good dog. Like he is.

Crikey - I can't believe how badly I have neglected my blog. Poor blog!

There are so many things that need updating and I can't think where to begin, so I'll post a pic of the lovely Otto for now....

I am SUCH a good dog!!! (He is!!! No. Really!)
