How did it come to this?

I'm planning a lesson on similes and metaphors. For a year 8 English class.

How did that happen. Not so long ago I was writing articles for headteachers on complicated school issues. Now I'm back putting together worksheets with poems about greyhounds.

I'm not sure what I make of that yet.

However, today I visited a charitable foundation in central London who will hopefully be offering opportunities to write for them. The pay is low but the opportunity is fantastic.

Patience is required.
