I visited the Imperial War Museum yesterday and found it very moving, actually hard not to cry. The sheer futility, bravery and resilience of people during conflict was overwhelming. Last night I nearly bought Dunkirk but hesitated… I’ve never really watched war films before. Is it worth a watch? 🙏

I can’t believe I’m writing this…Yesterday Ben and I went to Hull and ran a MARATHON. I was very scared beforehand and cried when I finished. Extremely hard but worth every step. For Lise. ❤️

It’s #NationalFindYourInnerNerdDay today… naturally, I celebrated with a 14K run and a surprise landing in Tatooine (Rawtenstall). Bumped into Star Wars characters, got very excited and asked for a photo- because that’s what all chill composed adults do.

#MayTheMilesBeWithYou #StravaWars #Running
I am in the middle of a Star Wars line up, fresh from a 14K run. I am peak sweaty chic, standing proudly next to a squad of Star Wars characters in full Imperial armour. They look ready for battle and maybe mildly confused by my cardio. I am clearly the most excited, because nothing says 'cool adult' like fangirling in running gear next to Stormtroopers in Rawtenstall. 🙈

🧵 (1/3): I’m not quite sure how to say this, bear with me…

I’m doing the Rumble in the Jumble challenge on 11 Oct in Hull.

6-hours of running (or something hopefully resembling it).

Running along a path flanked by lush greenery - taken from behind for cinematic drama. I’m upright and moving, which is basically my personal best. A post-run photo of me taken in a coffee shop: I look absolutely shattered — like I’ve just magnificently conquered a half marathon, when in reality I’d actually completed a slow 5K. 😅 I’m smiling at something off to the side. It’s probably a dog.

Cutting-edge cancer treatments made within days rather than weeks or months.

Personalised gene therapies to be made while patients wait (with only minutes of shelf life).

Both will now be possible thanks to the world-first regulations coming into force today, thanks to the Labour government.
Cutting-edge personalised treatments, made while you wait, will deliver specialised care to patients more quickly
New regulations effective today will make it faster and easier for cutting-edge cancer treatments and personalised gene therapies to be made right where patients are treated.

And just like that… we made it. 💫
Last day of term, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite this tired.
This year has been a whirlwind. Here’s to rest, sunshine, and hopefully finding my running rhythm again - one peaceful mile at a time. 🤞
School’s out for summer! 💚
Betty the school therapy dog (a sandy coloured miniature labradoodle) has assumed her rightful position as Queen of the School Gates - flat out on the pavement, tongue lolling like she’s just run a marathon (she hasn’t). She’s rocking a Union Jack neckerchief and a party hat with the confidence of a dog who knows she’s the main event. Regal and ready for summer. Running selfie. Yes, I stopped mid-run to take this. Yes, that’s why my Strava pace is questionable. I sacrifice for the content. You’re welcome.

@jhsteven.bsky.social I finished The Apparition Phase. I’m not sure what I think really happened at the end. It was sad. 😞

Yesterday was a good day. My family came to #ParkRun and they did great! 💞

I ran it in 30m 51s, (that’s really good for me! 😆).

I had porridge an hour before the race which I think might have t-oat-ally helped… *sorry.

How wonderful. I wish I’d done this at school, a chance to fall in love with the Earth. 🌍

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

Maybe the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen. 🥺 This was around 6am this morning, it was worth getting up for. Obviously I had to stop running for a while to take pictures. 👀 What a beautiful world we live in. 🥰

We all know pets are brilliant, loving this paw-some celebration in #RISEduMag for #LoveYourPetDay. ❤️ 🐾

I’m a bit biased but I have a mini (labradoodle) soft spot for number 9… just look at her little face. 🥺🫶

If you see this repost with something red from your gallery.

A heart balloon, lost on the Rossendale moors where the abandoned village of Gambleside once was.

#lancashire #morningrun #countryside #trailrunning #runsky #running
A red heart-shaped balloon stuck on a drystone wall on the moors surrounding Rossendale - the only distraction in the green windswept peace of the Lancashire countryside. I only do this cross country run once or twice a year as you need a longer spell of sunny weather to make the trail dry enough and that rare phenomenon must correlate with a higher level of personal fitness. Anyway I was very glad to stop and take a photo. It was sweet and gave me a little boost on my run.

Family Park Run in Burnley this morning. I always feel quite proud afterwards, like I’ve accomplished something good. Also in awe of all the impressively fast runners and secretly wish I was one of them. 😄🙏

A large group of runners waiting to start Park Run at Towneley Park in Burnley. A long straight path stretches into the distance in front of them. I am at the back of the group, a familiar race position for me. An aerial view of the Park Run course at Towneley Park. The shape is like a wonky angular figure of eight. Each lap is 2.5k long so runners go round the course twice to complete the race. Husband and son enjoying a well earned rest at the cafe after the run. They are sat at the table smiling at each other. My son has a cup of sparkling berry juice which was quite expensive and apparently not even fizzy. Post-run selfie. I have just finished the race, I do not want to discuss family finishing times that’s not what this is about. 🤪 I don’t notice my husband has photobombed until later. At least I got a shot of us all! 💕

The Lancashire weather hasn’t made my 2025 goal to run each day easy. 😅 Running is a relatively new habit for me and feeling pretty proud of myself so far. I don’t go very far or fast but I think believing I’m a runner is what matters most and I think I might be. 💕

Everything is lovely in the fog, mist and haze. I could do today over and over again.

There’s always an assumption that low nos of children with SEND at a school means they’ve been turned away or kicked out: it could mean that some of these schools have inclusion right & so more children don’t need different from/additional to what’s universally on offer. /1

Harrogate this weekend. What a lovely area, I really want to go back! Brimham Rocks were fantastic and boy did we eat well. 🤦🏻‍♀️
A small lone tree with no leaves and bare branches juts out of the dramatic limestone formation at Brimham Rocks, North Yorkshire. I am standing on a boulder precipice overlooking Nidderdale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire. I have my back to the camera and the wind is making my hair wild, I almost look countrified but I am wearing bright pink trainers. A breakfast bowl of fruit. Banana slices with desiccated coconut, blueberries, granola and a generous dollop of peanut butter sit atop of chilled açai. It was not what I expected when I ordered, (especially since I got mixed up with chia seeds and açai), but it was very delicious. Thali is like Indian Tapas: a variety of Indian dishes served together in small portions. This is the Vegan Thali from Cardamom Black in Harrogate. Bindi baji, lentil daal, ginger tofu curry, spinach and vegetable madras. The food was delicious and the portions were more generous than I anticipated which delighted me. I overate but have few regrets.

Hello BlueSky, the great #EduSky community is a nice surprise. I’m glad I joined.

I work at a lovely through-school in Lancashire. I’ve been a SENDCo for many years, it’s one of the most rewarding roles in school.

I’m always delighted to help and support others. #SEND
