Wildplay

Kind of a diary shot, I was too busy all day and wilted from the heat when I stopped being busy so haven't taken many photos!

I've been unemployed since last October, trying to survive on supply work in schools and desperately trying to find another job, which I haven't managed to do yet, but I started a casual summer holiday job today, working with a local wildlife trust helping to run wildplay sessions to get children outdoors and involved with nature over the holidays. Not a proper job, but it's nice to have a little income over the holidays while there isn't any supply work available. Today was my first day and I spent all day in the park in the sunshine and heat (argh, I'm not good in hot weather) and was in charge of showing children how to use a flint and steel to make sparks and letting them set cotton wool alight with it! They loved it!

Like the colourful motif..... this temporary job sounds great fun.
Good luck on the job search

Sounds like a lovely temperary job. Hope you find a permanent position soon. Lovely shot btw

We all have days where it's easiest to just shoot something. I just took one of the dishes in the sink (don't think it came out, though.) Sounds like a great summer program! Have fun with it.

The job sounds great, I did something similar in Devon! Supply work is OK but I really hope a permanent post comes your way.

so it was hot and then you had to work hard to make fire! hope there was some water in the day's line-up!

Good Luck with the summer job and hope you find something permanent soon x

@francoise
We had water just in case! They were only little fires which burn out quickly, thankfully!

Louise, I hadn't realised you'd been unemployed for so long. I could have just the answer for you, drop me an email [e-mail] and i'll see if I can help you.

[Louise]

@vokesy thanks, how intriguing! I've emailed you.

Nothing like starting the aspiring arsonists off at a young age :)

This lettering is delightful--is it on a shirt? This sounds as if it would be job you'd do very well, but I hope you find something permanent soon.

It sounds like a perfect job for you, but good luck with the job-hunting.

Thank you. The lettering is embroidered on a back of a zip up, hooded jacket. You can see the whole logo here...

@dh
Thanks. I've only done three sessions but loved it! I'm secretly hoping it may lead to other things, maybe proper employment with the wildlife trust, but I think that's a longshot!
