A little shining example

Hello Steve and all

Thanks for inviting me here. I am blogging under the name Riddley because it has my surname hidden in it and it's the name of the fictional hero of Russell Hoban's work of genius, Riddley Walker. If you haven't read it buy it for yourself for Christmas. I am a writer and dramatist etc. and I have oft visited West Redcar on creative missions and had a great time there. The school is a little shining example of how creativity can change the lives of young people.
