| Introduction | I started my career as an archaeologist but quickly got tired of being dirty so went to work in Tudor costume at Hampton Court Palace for four years. I have been and continue to be a heritage educator at historic houses and museums, both in and out of costume, and writing for teachers and pupils. I set up an education programme at Down House, Darwin's home in Kent, and have been getting into science education since then. I am now studying for a biology degree with the Open University. It has taken me two years on this blog to work out that I should really be pitching to various publications for writing projects. They're not going to come to me! |

Compose the lyrics to a new national anthem that features an animal sound at least once:
Old McCameron had a country, E-I-E-I-O And in that country there were lots of cows, E-I-E-I-O With a moo, moo here And a moo-moo there Here a moo, there a moo Everywhere a moo-moo Until the badgers gave them all TB Allegedly
