Paull’s ‘Pease Pudding Hot’ published in print!

Posted on August 20, 2010 by | 4 Comments

CONGRATULATIONS go to Lorraine Ellis! The Holderness Gazette reports that the Paull based author is to get her book Pease Pudding Hot published as a paperback.

The book charts the moving story of Joe Sharp who is trapped in a world that doesn’t understand his schizophrenia – including the voices in his head that haunt and taunt him – and his experiences of being sectioned in hospital. The title of the book refers to the rhyme that Joe sings to block out the nasty voices.

The novel has already been published as an e-book by Chipmunka Publishing as reported on the Blog in 2009.

Inmans Primary Re-build

Posted on August 14, 2010 by | Leave a comment

THE RE-BUILDING of Inmans Primary School is well under way. The school was hit by the floods of 2007 but had also suffered from floodwater damage in 2000.

The school is being re-built on higher ground (the old school playing field) using funding awarded by the Government for such flood-hit schools. It is expected to re-open in 2011.

Once the building is in use the old school will be demolished and turned into a playing field so the school doesn’t lose any facilities.

NOTE: The U.K. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recently sent a message to parents that building sites are not playgrounds. As school holidays are well underway in Britain, the HSE encourages parents to warn their children of the dangers of playing on construction sites.
