Anyone fancy a cinnamon bun cup, filled with a ginger cake, vanilla cheesecake, ginger caramel and a mini gingerbread person.
Feeling very fortunate after my daughter's baking gang yesterday.

Teacher? Say no to social media and edtech this year
In 2026, choose joy, stop using ai, social media and please, just use books. I have been thinking about what to write to respond to the latest school...
