There is never enough time, is there?

I am reviewing blogs written by school governors here in the UK & there are not many of them. When I asked on social media why is that, given governors have opinions, the response was usually – time. We are all so busy that there are not enough hours in the day.

You are all great at time management of your blogging so I would love to hear what your routine is. How do you find the time?

A busy time of year

Here in the UK this is a busy time for ‘celebrations’. First, we have Halloween (borrowed from our American friends), then we have Bonfire Night which celebrates the failed attempt to blow up Parliament by Guy Fawkes & finally we remember our fallen soldiers with Remembrance Sunday.

I’d love to know if you share any of these events or how they differ from ours. Let’s share some traditions!
