About Me
About Bill: A Polzeath Guide and Beach Art Enthusiast
Experienced Teacher: Maybe, with over 40 years of teaching in various subjects, including ICT, English, outdoor education and now 7 years of teaching Sacred Geometry on the beach
Global Wanderer: All who wander may actually be lost, but my teaching career has somehow taken me all over the UK and to Australia, USA, Morocco, Thailand, Cambodia, Kenya, and Bangladesh. Make of that what you will.
Lifelong Learner: Yes, I've taught in the IB system and I'm a psychology graduate from Durham with a PGCE in English from Exeter so I'm totally open to new ideas and learning from others. Hopefully just like you if you are reading this!
Exploring with Bill:
Photography Enthusiast: As an original Geograph photographer, my photos around the UK are now preserved in the British Library
Tech Upgrade: While I used to carry a Nikon and a Kelly Kettle on walks, now it's likely to be a thermos, iPhone, and drone.
Organise: Over the years, I've organised walking challenges like the Three Peaks walking Challenge in the Yorkshire Dales and now a Polzeath Beach Art festival.

How lucky was I that this lovely couple knew that I was famous! Otherwise I would have been none the wiser. I must remember Shelley's 'Ozymandias' poem and the warning about getting big headed. Cause in the end:
'Nothing beside remains. Round the decay /
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare /
The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
