First post

OK, so this is my first post on my first ever Blog. New territory for me so this may be a bit wobbly and uncertain first.

Lets start with a little bit about me by way of introduction.

I am nearly 40 and about to start a History PGCE to realise my ambition of becoming a History Teacher. So a big career change but exciting. I have always been interested in History and have continued to read about it since I graduated, too many years ago to reveal without embarassment, though my reading is general not reflected by the syllabus, possibly because I am interested in the history of conflicts. So far my History Teaching has all been informal - I am helping my primary school age son develop a love of the subject.

Anyway, that's enough about me to be going on with, as I am sure we will all findout more about each other once the course starts.
