This was such a lovely, heartwarming series to stumble upon on iPlayer. Excellently produced with wonderful actors. Would highly recommend and will definitely be adding @ronanhession.bsky.social to my 2026 reading list!

This was utterly mesmerising and has stirred up such a strong urge to physically reconnect with nature. Stunning writing. Looking forward to enjoying it again soon via the documentary. @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social

My two April reads. Written almost 35 years apart but both sharing powerful insight into the journey of finding one’s own identity within local community and wider society.

I love the idea of writing ‘essayettes’ on the things that bring daily delight. This has the makings of a wonderful KS3 writing unit - joyful writing by students and joyous reading for their teachers!

Third book read in January. Feeling like an undergraduate literature student again (and loving it!)
Bit late to the party with this one, but powered through it and can completely understand why it’s been added to A Level specs.

A brilliant novella - focusing on identity, race and relationships - to bring my 2024 year of reading to a close. Looking forward to checking out the film adaptation next.

What an inspiring conference this weekend. Over 120+ like-minded individuals committed to supporting multilingual children. Yvonne Foley’s powerful and emotive keynote describing Scottish schools welcoming refugees will remain with me for a long time to come: “We were waiting for you.” #naldic32
