‘No I Will’ is a father’s own story of his experiences raising a special child. It is a searingly honest account of his struggles and the challenges he faced. It is heartfelt and uplifting, incredibly moving and full of laugh out loud humour.
“I don’t believe any parent, if they had the choice, would choose a physical or mental handicap for their child. No parent want’s their child to suffer. But despite my son’s limitations, he inspires me every day. He is innocence personified and sees the world as the truly wonderful and magical place that it is. He reminds me how to have fun, to find humour in everything and show kindness to everyone.”

His early life in an RAF nissen hut in Lytham St Annes; hard times at boarding schools; an archaeological dig at Milton Keynes; lengthy train travel to Istanbul; smallpox requiring departure from Turkey to Cyprus military base, thence by ship to Egypt, Port Alexandria and military train to Luxor, in a country eerily awaiting developments after the destruction of three jumbo jets. He also describes his time in New York, Washington and Philadelphia, meeting his wife while hitch hiking in Ireland; working for two legal firms and for the catholic church, both positive as the latter included the successful visit to the UK by Pope John Paul II, but negative as it involved appalling child protection cases.

Maths does not have to be confusing or scary. It can be simple and understood by you. This book is your 'no-nonsense' travel guide. I am not a Mathematician. At school, I was no high-flier, not even an also ran. More a back-marker. I appreciate how it felt being the one who did not get it. Helping struggling or disillusioned students UNTANGLE doubt and become less fearful was my passion and driving force as a teacher. To develop my own different creative approaches, to unlock their potential. The key? To build their resilience, self-esteem and confidence and achieve light bulb moments, positive attitude change, and new-found motivation. To gain a realisation it is possible to understand, and yes, even enjoy the subject. I loved working with students who felt Mathematics was not for them or beyond them. They made me recognise that new learning can only happen when previous concepts or building blocks are understood. I developed my own approaches and explored links between topics. &#61623; To reduce the clutter to fundamental key ideas. &#61623; To remove the muddle and complexity. &#61623; To realise percentages and decimals are fractions too and behave the same way. They are NOT separate ideas, obeying different rules. &#61623; To appreciate algebra is just numeracy or numbers with letters instead. Letters must behave the same way as numbers They are NOT separate ideas, obeying different rules. On retirement, I began typing up these ideas. Hence this book. Education is a right, not a privilege. Numeracy is as fundamental a skill as literacy, especially in this digital and technological age. It is essential we counter that old chestnut, I was never any good at Mathematics. Many employment and training opportunities cannot be accessed without the requisite qualification in Mathematics. That much needed PASS, no matter whether number 4 or letter C. The successful Mathematics learner must understand, be resilient, and have confidence to progress. They must be secure with the method they choose to use. Simply repeating the same rules and techniques does not break through entrenched misconceptions or repeated errors in applying originally misunderstood methods. The effective teacher therefore must explore new ways to advance good learning and remove or mitigate for bad. Renewing, or igniting a willingness to engage and promoting a can-do attitude is essential and paramount.

Following a three year hotel catering course and a successful apprenticeship at the renowned Connaught Hotel, David Green was in the midst of a fervent chef career. However, on the day of his 25th birthday something gate-crashed the party ..the diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes.\nFollow the tumultuous journey of an insulin-dependent diabetic professional chef. Learn the challenges, understand the problems and live through all the highs and lows in maintaining day-to-day normality.\nAccompanied by more than 70 recipes, all created by the author during his chef career spanning 30 years, beginning in London's Mayfair to Canada, Wales, the Lake District, Norfolk coast and more.\nDiabetes has almost reached pandemic proportions with so many people around the globe afflicted by either Type 1 or Type 2. It shows no mercy, and woe betide anyone who does not obey its principles.\nI was diagnosed at the age of 25, which is unusual. But at least I was old enough to understand the situation, the implications, the medication and its regime. I was, however, young enough to learn that the negative effects of diabetes are long-term, usually happening after many years, thus causing myself, aged 25, some concern!\nWhichever type of diabetes a person may have, it will, for sure, change their life. This book relays my personal story from when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and through the next 30 years of my life, detailing all the effects diabetes had on my career as a chef, my personal life and my family and friends. All the ups and downs, all the little victories as well as all the devastating lows have been included, all described as accurately as my memory will allow.\nThe recipes were all at some time cooked by myself, and featured on my own menus while I was working as a Head Chef in hotels and gastro-pubs. My intention with the recipe selections in this book, was to illustrate the changing food fashions and food styles during a 30 year period but also to highlight some forgotten classics, some real show-stoppers that even in 2021 deserve to be cooked and celebrated. Each recipe has a detailed preparation and cooking method, together with a little history of their origin.\nAll the recipes are in their original restaurant form, and will give you the same result I achieved when I cooked them. They are a "Treat," a dish for special occasions, some are very labour intensive and some are very rich. For those with diabetes, or those just wanting to follow a healthy diet, each recipe has a "Healthier Version" attachment, to indicate the changes necessary to achieve a version containing less sugar, less salt, less fat, and subsequently less calories.
