I've not had much time to spend with these two for a few weeks so I'm making the most of today before I head off to my 2nd conference in 2 weeks!

🐔🥰🐔

They have marked the occasion with some excellent posing for the camera...

I'm giving this one final push for responses until #HalfTerm (w/c 27th Oct).

I'd like feedback from teachers who have & have not included #FastFashion in their curriculums.

If you know any #PrimarySchool #Teachers please share.

Thank you 🙏

I may have spent much of today working, but it involved fashion, maps and SDG's, so it's all good!

Did I create individual maps to break down each supply chain stage?

Yes, of course I did! 😆

Reasons to not use Ticketmaster.
I successfully purchased my Tame Impala tickets 10 mins ago from the venue site. TM still has me in a queue with 7k people in front of me, and the venue site has no queue now.

Yes!!!

My brother used to have several "poodys" each day when he was a teenager. Me and my cousin used to joke it's because he was eating too many "poody" eggs. Don't ask what that means though 😂

I had such a wonderful start & end to the work day:

🏋️‍♀️ A gym session & sunrise swim
🍃 Finished with a 3 mile wander through the woods

I wish I hadn't checked the news in between, because, WOW, it's been quite the day for the mad (🍊) toddler 🤯

Go touch some grass everyone - it helps 🌱

Got to make the most of the perks of working from home on a gorgeous sunny day!
🌞🌻😎

And a wifi booster in the campervan that is stronger than the home wifi, even when in the house! 🤷‍♀️

Always following me.
Always inquisitive.

Perfect Sunday:

A 4 mile early morning walk following by crocheting in the glorious sunshine. Soundtracked by BBC 6Music since 8am.

Well, I wasn't expecting to find that this morning. Size on that courgette/marrow!!👀

Lots of little ones are still growing too...it's like a jungle in the polytunnel!

And after many years of trying, I got my first aubergine, too!! 🙌

There used to be a lido there until they pulled it down for a playground.

I guess nature prevails...
