Thanks @sussexcountyfa.bsky.social & Simon Roe Photography for coming to see Turf Chicks and take some brilliant photos for us from your Christmas Giveaway prizes. Great to see ladies of a certain age feeling valued in a fun, relaxed and social environment whilst also getting fit #thisgirlcan.

Off to Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea v Morecambe in the #facup. Hoping for a giant killing but will be happy with a good day out. 🤞

The little one had his first driving lesson today at 12 yrs old with Young Drivers. Track based session and he went up to 3rd in a manual car. Amazing skills from Jeff the instructor to give him the confidence to do that within 30mins. I’d highly recommend to anyone as a great gift for kids!

A bit late posting but my @yogitea advent calendar was pretty awesome!

Fabulous afternoon with Southwick & Shoreham CC Sheila’s today. Won one and lost one (close match) but proud of all. The support and camaraderie from this team is something money can’t buy. Improving all the time but more importantly we play the game as recreational cricket should be played imho.

Lovely evening in Shoreham with people of all ages out and about celebrating in our lovely town. #LightUpShoreham

Any other parents have to take the teddy on the school run? Elf Oreo spent the day between drop off and pick up reading the programme from England Lionesses recent match v USA. #lionessesfan

Best advent calendar ever! The Wife has outdone herself this year. 😀

Great weekend, Wembley and Winchester Christmas Market.

Lego & Wine evening tonight, very exciting!

I wrote about the way the SEND crisis is quietly unpicking women's lives - destroying careers, dismantling relationships, damaging physical and mental health.

And all this goes on unacknowledged.

Long read for The i Paper:

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

Morning.

Lovely walk along Brighton seafront yesterday morning. Really need to make more of an effort to do this more regularly. It just lifts the spirits. @sealanes
