UK Parliament Week has been a massive success with my Cubs and Scouts. The Cubs surprised me with their knowledge, and the Scouts decided to fully fund equality efforts... I'm not sure taking £80Billion from the NHS was the right way to do it though 🤣 #ukpw

A sunny day to head to London for the Learning Technology Awards! Have even got a Tux, for the first time in 20 years

Well this seems nice so far... maybe I can start building up to posting more as time goes on!
