5/22/2023 0 Comments The Frost Fairs by John McCullough![]() ![]() It might sound strange, but it feels like this is the first time in my life I’ve committed to just one thing. So, although I’ve known for about 2 weeks, I’ve spent those 2 weeks handing my notice in at Cumbria Music Service, telling my schools and the staff that I work with, and then finally, telling the 300 odd children that I teach. The PhD is full-time and when I went for the interview, I’d already made the decision that if I got it, I would hand my notice in as a brass teacher. My main news this week is I’ve been awarded full funding for 3 years from Manchester Metropolitan University to do a PhD in Poetry. I’ve also had some visitors this week – I’m looking after two of my sisters terriers, so there are four terriers currently running around the house. ![]() I’m writing this in the garden this week, in dazzling sunshine, so if there are more spelling mistakes than usual, you will have to excuse them – I am slightly blinded by the light. ![]()
