Welcome


So, here I am, a 'Wandering Scientist'!
This wasn't really part of the plan if I'm honest.... When I was at school, and people asked what I wanted to do with my life, this would not have been the first thing on my list...... That said, neither would it have been the last thing on my list. At the time, I was not aware that there would be possibilities in the future to work in such a flexible way without having a "proper" job.
The purpose of this blog is to act as a vent for my frequent ramblings, to document the successes (and inevitable failures) of my progress starting out on this Freelancing adventure, and possibly to offer some insight to others who may be considering a similar non-conformist career path.

More Writing than Science-ing during the Easter Break

Besides having had a busy few weeks on the teaching front, I have been trying to pick up the pace with my writing, and am hoping to get a lot more done over the next 2 weeks while the schools and colleges are closed for Easter break.
One brilliant piece of good fortune on the writing front is that my article providing a plenary idea has attracted some attention, which has led to the offer of some bona-fide paid writing work. I've just done the first draft and, as usual, will be re-reading my efforts tomorrow to check that I haven't included any clangers!
The marketing plan is slow going! I have two appointments with schools booked in, but neither could spare me any time before the holidays. Why do teachers have to be so busy all the time?? (Don't answer that.... I know... I've been there!)
