And for my next trick....

So life at Becta is done and dusted. It had to come sooner or later. I'm actually not missing it one bit so far, which I'm taking as a very good sign that I was ready to leave.
I don't really have time to miss it, to be honest, as I'm not exactly languishing in a life of leisure. No sooner had I finished, than I found myself working as a supply woodwind and vocal teacher, a singing teacher in a Stagecoach theatre school, a private singing teacher, professional soprano and freelance comms consultant for the Church School Awards. This is all good. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd be doing so much so soon.
I am blessed to have an amazing and varied and interesting career opening up in front of me, friends and family who have never faltered in their support and love and the chance to start afresh.
I am happy. Busy, but happy.
