Peter Luscombe

Who am I? Once a teacher I now am blessedly retired. No more the horde of hundreds passing through my life each year. I gained much from teaching – knowledge about learning

[about myself, others and the world around me]; observing, and fostering, individuals’ growth from the first awkward steps into adolescence to stepping forth into the adult world and all its responsibilities; and significantly, the myriad of ways people conduct themselves and get on with living.

My name – Peter – is derived from the Greek Πετρος (Petros) meaning “stone”. I have a profound respect for the written word. My favourite citation is  :

In life there are no destinations; just a series of arrivals.  (paraphrase – Jeanette Winterson.)
