What a beautiful day it has been today. Makes you feel better feeling the sun on you. I spent the day doing my birding with children at Wick Court. Wick Court is a Farm for City Children set up by Morpurgos. Michael visited today and the children loved meeting him. I have said before what a privilege it is to take the children out looking at birds around the farm. The children learn so much by being on the farm, hands on learning. It is real education and a million miles from the Prime Minister’s vision he outlined yesterday. What a charade the whole Free School nonsense is! I could go on and on about how politicians are ruining our education service but you will be pleased that I won’t!
