Hillcrest School







Had a lovely, if not hectic week running art workshops for young children at Hillcrest school.
My aims were to build up my confidence and to interact with some new people. I felt suprisingly comfortable leading the group at times, and had a really fufiling experience.
They have offered to pay to my CRB check so I can continue working at the school as a mentor, so I look forward to continuing my volunteer work within the Leeds community.

His work makes me want to scream with happiness. Amazing.

We by Zamyatin



"There are books of the same chemical composition as dynamite. The only difference is that a piece of dynamite explodes once, whereas a book explodes a thousand times." - Zamyatin

Just finished reading this amazing book. Every single collaboration of words, every punctuation mark has been used for a reason and has its perfect place within the novel. I am in awe.
