Had a brilliant time at the #WorldSeries Watch Party in London and am now passing the time waiting for my train home by reading @keeganmatheson.bsky.social’s book in front of Big Ben and thinking he could write another chapter just on that Addison Barger grand slam.

Thank you to CBC in Canada for this lovely little piece about how we are cheering on the @torontobluejays.bsky.social at school and the things we've done over the last few years to promote a love of the Jays and baseball here in the UK.

Great to be invited onto Canadian radio to talk to Matt Green on CBC about introducing the @torontobluejays.bsky.social to the children at our UK primary school and what happens if you come in wearing a Yankees cap!

Very grateful to @teachertapp.bsky.social for making my blog one their Daily Reads. If you’re thinking of adding a specialist provision to your mainstream school, or want to know more about specialist units in general, I hope you find it useful.

My parents were just sorting through a few things and found my old 7” single collection, including these absolute classics from one of my childhood ( and adulthood! ) favourites, the wondrous @kylieminogue.music-social.com ! I had a jeans patch with her on too - she’s amazing!

It’s the Year 6 sleepover at school so I have to pull an all-nighter - currently powering through it with many, many cups of tea and a perfectly timed @torontobluejays.bsky.social game. Last child went to sleep at 3:20 am…!

The face of someone who was thrilled to discover he still knew the words to Together Forever by Rick Astley when it came on in ASDA…
…and the face of someone who was not thrilled to listen to him sing it all the way around the store!

Well, this was quite the surprise! Not every day Fanatics arrange an out-of-the-blue visit to your school behind your back to give the children a new ( and definitely improved! ) uniform because they saw your @torontobluejays.bsky.social assembly! Look out for the full story on their socials.

Had a surprise delivery at school today - a Blue Jays / R2-D2 hat! Two of my favourite things ever combined in one warm, cosy, stylish accessory! No idea who sent it, but they clearly have impeccable taste - thank you mystery Baseball Santa!
