Final week at Beacon and this time it really is the end of Summer fun in the homeland
As I write this I am back in Suffolk enjoying home foods, being the comedy Aunt for my niece and sitting in Seaton Road park with Becci eating chips and leading her down drug alley. My last week at Beacon was the most exciting one of the three. When there isn’t much news going on … Read more
Week 2 at Beacon and the end of Summer Lovin
So my last blog may have been a bit…depressing. But don’t worry this blog isn’t as pessimistic, I’ve had a lovely weekend at home with triple danger and the lads and spent time with the family so may feel a bit more home sick but also a bit more refreshed. I was kind of dreading … Read more

BBC Radio Suffolk Day 1
Today I began my work experience at BBC Radio Suffolk. Firstly I had to get over my fear of waking up early, and my other fear of having nowhere to park in the cheapest car park in town.
