Glennis Hooper - Best feet forward this Mother’s Day
Christmas has gone, as has Valentine’s Day, and now the shops are full of Easter merchandise and cards for Mothering Sunday, or Mothers’ Day as some might prefer to call it; the latter being so special for us all as we all have, or have had, a mum who means so much for so many reasons.
Neil Pickford - I apologise for what you are reading
I want to make it clear that the column you are about to read and the views expressed within do not change my over-riding opinion that talking to people and meeting them face-to-face is better than social networking.

Sunny Nunney - Saturdays will never be the same again
This week’s column is especially for you if you were born somewhere between 1965 and 1995… that’s not to say that it won’t mean anything to anyone else, but if you first appeared on this planet during that thirty-year period then you really were part of something special – something that I don’t believe we’ll ever experience again.
Richard Oliff - Childhood memories of winter
The winter of 1962-1963 was particularly harsh.

Michelle Morgan - Tragedy of a talent ruined by demons
It was terribly sad waking up to hear that Whitney Houston had passed away.
Sunny Nunney
Sunny Nunney - Sometimes words are just too costly
So, after four years in the job, Fabio Capello has finally resigned as England Manager.
Sunny Nunney - Act on those big ideas –while you can
Have you ever had one of those ideas that you think could change the world?
Sunny Nunney - Who wins the awards for best awards?
If you look in the dictionary for a definition of ‘hunting season’, it will probably say something like: the time of year when a bunch of defenceless creatures get shot by fellows in the country.
Neil Pickford
Neil Pickford - Let’s not get too personal about things
Last week there was another of those stories that warns people about the dangers of putting too much personal information on social networking sites because it could have a damaging effect on future job prospects.
Neil Pickford - Maggie may have helped me grow up
There is something slightly disturbing about seeing events and times that you lived through being turned into docu-dramas and movies.

Glennis Hooper - Government moved the goalposts
Back in September 1976, aged twenty one, I started my teaching career in full-time employment at Whitefriars Junior School in Rushden and spent 18 very happy years there before moving on to other posts and other schools in the county.

Glennis Hooper - Small things can jog big memories
Isn’t it funny how sometimes it is the little things in life than can bring so much pleasure?

Doctors notebook - Whitney had a gift... use your own gifts wisely
I want to talk about Whitney Houston and for those of you who are about to stop reading please stay with me.
Doctors notebook - The bonus culture is greedy and poisonous
I have a theory which goes something like this: the more you have, the more you fear losing it, so it is better to have even more just in case you do lose something.
Michelle Morgan
Michelle Morgan - Waiting in line can be such a pain
I, like most people, hate standing in queues, and in my opinion there’s nothing much scarier than the Post Office queue and the people standing in it.

Michelle Morgan - The warm feeling of nostalgia
There seems to be a huge interest in the good old days recently and TV and cinema are both filled with period dramas: ‘The Iron Lady’; ‘W.E.’; ‘Call the Midwife’; and of course ‘The Artist.’
Richard Oliff
Richard Oliff - It was right to strip ‘Sir’ Fred
For a ‘commoner’ to receive a knighthood it is usual that the award is for outstanding achievement or contribution within a certain field.
Richard Oliff - Time to size down for a stress-free life
I recently wrote about the apparent lack of affordable housing available to those who survive on modest or no income. We’ve all heard the saying ‘the more one earns the more one spends’, which I believe to be true.
Richard Oliff - More than one solution for loneliness
There are many sides to living on one’s own and just as many reasons for so doing.
