2011 was not my best year overall... just three years into my job at the GA, some political manoeuvres ahead of a general election meant the loss of some project income, and the decision was made to make some roles at the GA redundant... including mine. I then had a car crash...
I called on my network and some work came in, and cashed in various saving plans for the future... at times I had just a few hundred pounds in my bank account... and I lasted a few years building up my freelance work, including ERASMUS projects and some work with the Open University... then returned to the classroom in 2013.
I will always be grateful to those who stepped up to help me, and thanked them here.
Musically, there was lots happening.
I headed for Latitude and saw Jonsi play live... Ed Sheeran and Yann Tiersen were also in the lineup.
I saw Yeasayer the same day and was impressed with them.
