A nice antidote to the tiresome Branson and Clarkson 'no O levels never held me back' stories that always surface in August. Somehow B and C always forget to mention that their Care Homes were Stowe and Repton. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Geoff. Thanks so much. I agree. I really hate that attitude because it gaslights the systemic issues that affect everyone else. I’m aware I’ve gone on to have a mind blowing journey, despite coming from children’s homes. And I would hate my story to be used as a way to show that the care system works.
So proud of you! Really enjoying your writing
That last line is such a gut punch….
I love a good music metaphor!
Once again Matt, very insightful, encouraging and direct.
Just as you are. X
Looking forward to much more.
I did giggle, some very descriptive views and observations that I can’t dispute. X
I'll try and keep the giggling coming. I know I'm not going to be able to stop you disputing observations.
Matt your observations are gold. X
Thanks Alex. I'm glad you're liking it.

Again, an excellent piece Matt, Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you like it 😊
