A must-read.

Don’t let them demoralise you and convince you it’s all inevitable. Nothing is inevitable.

And they are taking unchecked action. It’s very scary. There seems to be nothing able to stop them. This from the department for transport has genuinely terrified me.. I checked it was authentic, because I thought.. surely not? But it is. Terrifying.

Brilliant production of West Side Story on next weekend in Corby with a cast all under 18. They’re so good.. and my fabulous daughter is one them. #ProudMum. If you’re local, this is a must-see www.thecorecorby.com/whats-on/wat...

Love these words! From the wonderful poet Mary Oliver. She is my daily inspiration 😊

Sold out everywhere. By Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. Hope to get a copy at some point. Her bravery this week was breathtaking.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this guide on pupil motivation and engagement 👇

It tackles the constant tension between wanting children to achieve AND thrive & presents an easy to read, research-based approach that shows you can definitely do both!

I think I need to accept that this Christmas garland is no longer fit for purpose 😂😭 Bought from BHS in 2000!

2024 might be the year I throw it away.. but I’m not sure I can! It’s bare.. but still so pretty 🤩

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,205,105 which means I can regard myself as an early adopter, I guess! 🎉

I’m staggered I’m in the first 10 million tbh. Usually I come to something about a decade after everyone else. I’m only just realising Ed Sheeran is quite good LOL
