I wasn't sure whether to reply on your blog or mine . . . so I'm doing it on both . . . !<BR/><BR/>Below is a copy of what I said 'over there'.<BR/><BR/>, , , , ,<BR/><BR/>When I began thinking about this blog, I wondered whether it would make sense outside England.<BR/><BR/>Even within the U.K. approaches to education vary between its constituent countries. The British pre-occupation with energy comsumption isn't shared everywhere. The kind of buildings we have inherited and the kind of architecture we may develop clearly are, and have to be, different - depending on location and climate. I don't even know how many countries away from here have had cellars!<BR/><BR/>But, having thought about it, rather hesitantly, I dropped a few notes to bloggers around the world.<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad I did - because here, already, you have left a couple of very interesting comments.<BR/><BR/>Except for the catch phrase 'There's something nasty in the woodshed' - (from the novel 'Cold Comfort Farm' and which I read so long ago I can no longer remember whether there really was ever anything nasty in there) I have only ever had warm thoughts about sheds.<BR/><BR/>The thought that a shed might be seen as a place of punishment rather than a place of retreat and work and shelter gives me a kind of horror.<BR/><BR/>. . . And makes me glad I let you know about this blog - because already you have brought in a different perspective.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>SusanSusan Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459572012943654715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31768668.post-81879713245018885002008-01-08T09:56:00.000-07:002008-01-08T09:56:00.000-07:00http://shoutingattheradio.blogspot.com/Interesting...<A HREF="http://shoutingattheradio.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">http://shoutingattheradio.blogspot.com/</A><BR/><BR/>Interesting idea, but opening it up internationally this way might cause it to be more about geographical differences than you intended.<BR/><BR/>It has a sweet beginning, that blog.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31768668.post-77902379525986571452008-01-08T05:07:00.000-07:002008-01-08T05:07:00.000-07:00HelloMy name is Susan Harwood.I'm contacting peopl...Hello<BR/><BR/>My name is Susan Harwood.<BR/><BR/>I'm contacting people who list ‘unschooling’ as an interest on their 'blogger's profile'.<BR/><BR/>I have a new blog called<BR/><BR/>SHOUTING AT THE RADIO<BR/><BR/>It is concerned with the environment, building, architecture, politics and education.<BR/><BR/>It can be found at<BR/><BR/>http://shoutingattheradio.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>It is in its very early stages just yet - so comments will be especially welcome!<BR/><BR/>Yours sincerely<BR/><BR/>Susan HarwoodSusan Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459572012943654715noreply@blogger.com
