Top of the Hocks


Hey Everyone, Firstly I just want to thank everybody that has read Anna's blog post about her living with her epilepsy, its turned out to be one of the most read posts we've had and hopefully raises the awareness she was after. If you haven't read it yet, Click Here

I also want to remind you all that Next Week the Hocks are on Holiday at Center Parcs in Whinfell Forest, Which for those that don't know is in Penrith. We will keep in touch with everyone during this holiday, but via our new +YouTube Channel. To find our Youtube Channel, Simply go on and search for "The Hocks" and our account is the one with the following picture


Now to this weeks Top of the Hocks Post, This is the first one of these ive done for a while, so i hope you enjoy it!

1) Website of the Week

After the post about Anna's epilepsy im going to go with a website that is out there to advise and support epilepsy sufferers. www.epilepsy.org.uk is the website of Epilepsy Action. it has some brilliant resources such as First Aid for Epilepsy - a section for people to learn exactly what to do when a sufferer is having a fit / Seizure. 


2) TV Programme of the week

This week im going to go with a favourite of a lot of the Hocks on daytime TV and that's +Escape To The Country Its shown on BBC TV on weekday afternoons and involves people who live in the city wanting to move out into the countryside. They set the Presenters a budget and a wish list and then go and see 3 houses, then they get shown a mystery house which doesn't conform to their wish list. At the end of each house tour they have to guess the Price of the house. I think we all like it because we are a little nosey!! 

3) Joke of the Week

Teacher: Kids, What does the Chicken Give you?
Student: Meat Miss
Teacher: Very Good! Now what does the Pig Give you?
Student: Bacon Miss
Teacher: Great! and what does the Fat cow give you?
