I took some Hundred playing shirts out to The Gambia last week. The staff at the nursery school where I’m a trustee thought they were great. Although I suspect they weren’t entirely sure what cricket is. As always, it was a fun and uplifting visit. #TheHundred

A wonderful, spontaneous and emotional moment after the match when Mo Salah conducted the Kop singing the Diogo Jota song. A lone figure, last down the tunnel, visibly moved.
An emotional evening. So loud. Absolutely bonkers when Chiesa scored. What a start to the season ❤️

In amongst the families, sequins & cowboy hats last night for Dua Lipa, there were a few groups of lads. You could tell, they were the lads who flew to Poland in 2018 & sat on a bus to Kyiv for 10 hours. The lads for whom I wasn’t sure how One Kiss would land. But boy, did it land!! That moment 🙏

A great day of sport! A super performance by the Warwickshire Women meant I could whoosh back along the A14 & get the bunting out for the boys returning from Anfield. Well done all. Happy days always make the tough times easier to bear!
My bunting won’t win awards - it’s the thought that counts!

Enjoyed the display of artefacts at London Bridge station, found during its redevelopment. Especially the multi purpose bodkin - a hairpin, needle & an instrument for picking ear wax to recycle in the threading process!

On International Women’s Day, there is no ‘happy’ for me this year. I see our rights, our lives, threatened everywhere I turn. Our skills undervalued, despised by many. Looking at the ‘top table’, we are everything that’s missing.
Thank you to those who DO support us.

Yes, there’s a lot going on but maybe we just need a moment of calm for a cat enjoying a session on a Pilates reformer. (Sound on for some great purring!)

Damn - I knew I shouldn’t have eaten the special visitors bun before the match. To be fair, neither should the players!!

What a great end to the year to see this post from Middlesbrough Libraries. Wonderful to see that children in Middlesbrough are still enjoying reading ‘Parmo to the Rescue’. Their illustrations are fabulous. Happy New Year and Happy Reading in 2025!
