They Say Change is as Good as a Rest

They say a change is as good as a rest.

A change in focus.

Personally, I love the escapism of an activity, subject or narrative that’s utterly engaging.

The BBC murder mystery series “Shetland”.

Quality historical fiction.

The two (so far) Wilbur Smith novels I’ve read to date.

“The Great Courses” series on Audible (especially The Crusades, History of China & How To Listen To Great Western Music).

Learning/practicing piano.

Michael Palin on some epic journey.

CHESS!

Popped into the Streatham & Brixton chess club drop-in the other evening. Two games with a perfect stranger.

Loved it.

We parted (I felt) as new friends.

Felt like I’d had a 90 minuter intellectual spa treatment.

What are your go-to escapisms?

The school is at the start of an ambitious and exciting journey. You have helped us set the standard for the remainder of the year and further ahead. I hope you will return to the school in the future and inspire subsequent cohorts of MPP students.
