Back seat

After battling with Parkinson's for 8 years I am finally throwing in the towel. when I was first diagnosed I realised that I couldn't continue at the board so I got up at 04:00 every day for a year and produced the student centred activities on this website and I have been using them ever since. Parkinson's affects my left side, so my left hand has been pretty useless as far as typing goes for many years, now my right hand is slowing down making using a mouse rather difficult. For that reason I will be taking a back seat on this website leaving the work to Emma and, newly appointed David Clapp. I will still be around to answer questions though. Oh, I forgot to mention. I will stop teaching at the end of this week. These are my students seeing the back of me.
