Couldn't blog yesterday...
I was here having a meeting over dinner under Chatham House rules.. interesting that everyone says Chatham House rules but as you will see from the link it is really just one rule. Also everyone thinks it means you can't say what happened but it is a bit more complex than that. Anyway, I will just tell you the food was great and that if we had a college helicopter we could have used the hotel helipad. But we don't, just the good old college Brava and our satnav which tried to make us go to Leicester instead.
And tonight I have been listening to two of our students talking about their work in The Gambia. They have been raising funds and begging equipment for a nursery school out there and at Easter they went out and took the stuff and worked with the teacher to show him how to use the resources. Some great pictures of the kids having new books for the first time and those little bear things you use for number work. All this during their PGCE year and at the same time they have been running Nightline, the Lincoln student telephone counselling service. I get all proud of our students when I see them doing stuff like this.

I have never heard of Chatham House rules before. Sounds really exciting like something from a novel. I want to do it.
