Am really looking forward to performing with my amazing Jarualda Quartet comrades in this gorgeous intimate space 😍 It will be quite the musical ride this eve... 😀 😊 🎻🎻🎻🎻❤️‍🔥

Nearly posh frock o'clock... #musoEP

We’re very excited to share that the Barriers to Education website has officially launched: lnkd.in/e5vmcDaQ The website has been created to bring parents, carers and professionals together with practical, compassionate approaches that make a real difference.

Been a bit quiet I have, mainly because a) start of term has been 🍌🍌😅 & b) epic # of opera, orch & quartet gigs this month! #musoEP Pictures say more than words. I can't convey the depth of my gratitude for the musical & EP family that surrounds me 🥰 so in lieu of a bid to find words, this will do.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

1) Teacher–student relationships aren’t “soft extras.” This analysis (2.6m pupils) shows they drive achievement, motivation, executive function, belonging + wellbeing. Predictable structures + relational warmth = accelerators of learning, not distractions.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music & meaning on Saturday 4th October as @jarualdaquartet.bsky.social presents a world premiere of Paul Henley's Lyric Movement alongside Shostakovich’s haunting Eighth String Quartet—written in 1960 and dedicated “to the victims of fascism and war.”

Rehearsing this afternoon with the glorious Sally (clarinet) & Pam (piano), preparing some beautiful works by Max Bruch & Mozart's Kegelstatt trio for a gig on 31.10 🤩🥰 What a lush way to spend time 🥰

Union Jacks and St George’s crosses are going up on lampposts across the UK. The Daily Mail called those behind it an “army of patriots.” But the truth is very different. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/22/o...

Get educated. Level up. 🏳️‍⚧️

To anyone considering family train holiday in Europe, it works. Back from two weeks; LDN>Brussels>Munich >Verona>Turin->London. 6yo fave train, the Nightjet sleeper to Munich. Rest of us, the train over the Alps into Italy. Hat tip to @seatsixtyone.bsky.social for opening eyes to what is doable.1/

I’m sorry but no. Protests and demos with dozens or low hundreds of attendees are not especially newsworthy. I’ve seen larger turnouts at a Warhammer event.

The brilliant 9Bach, Shrewsbury Folk Festival, August 2025. #FreePalestine

Working from home but Min has other thoughts on this #floof

This little bee is buzzing to share something exciting with you... nearly ready... just building up a little Queen Bee energy 🤭, and the confidence to try to fly... ✨️ #EdPsychs

Thought-provoking piece from my dear friend Roshi Nasehi on AI, power and their threat to creativity: www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/all-...

Thank you for sharing your important research Kathy and for all of the neuroaffirming you do. I’m looking forward to reading 👏🏾🙌🏾

Casting my mind back a whole 3 years to a time when we all agreed this kind of stuff was bad and authoritarian actually www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Politicians creating social conditions that push people into such poverty they are forced to steal powdered baby milk which now has security tags on it to help protect the spiraling profits of supermarket chains is, in fact, part of the problem here

I get a lot out of the Finch wellbeing app. Here's a cute affirmation that immediately brought the truly awesome TAW EPS to mind 💖 #EdPsychs #PositiviTEA @telfordepsbakes.bsky.social 🧁

Look, it’s nearly Friday afternoon. What else are you going to do with nine minutes except watch Lego vehicles climbing ever higher walls? youtu.be/5t1HLv3IXMM?...

Sound principle. How about not making decisions about trans people without trans people, SKS?

Early start for today's 'Broadway' gig; essentials in place 😎 #musoEP

On a delightful visit to fascinating Portmeirion we encountered the Telford Tower 🤩 brought lthoughts of home! #EdPsychs

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

My research on masking black autistic girls in UK education has been published today in the Educational Psychology in Practice journal. When I started this research there were no other published articles on masking black autistic girls in the UK. www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.... 1/3

I mean it's probably more April/May at this point, which is me feeling relatively on top of things 🤭 but I am having a few days off, and that's that 🥳 #EdPsychs

Let's go #AltruisticAugust 🥰💚🩵💙

This was such a memorable evening, performing to an audience of 500+ enjoying music & the evening sun in the grounds of Shrewsbury Castle 🥰

Over-promising yet under-delivering.

Lucy Bronze

Absolutely marvellous performance: worthy winners again! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽ Tonight, my 6y/o son said he wants to be a footballer. He feels he has a lot to learn; happily, he can. When I was small, Italia 90 lit my dream. But as a girl, there was no way to play. Now, there is 🤩 Thank you, inspiring Lionesses!

When struggling to find suitable words, or action, I'm grateful that others manage to. Here's an action, & words, to send to David Lammy. Sign, send & share: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/demandsancti...

Office shenanigans... has anyone seen my precious mug, which brings me joy on a daily basis amid the trials of being an LA EP? possibly pilfered by a fellow Kaufmaniac... Reward offered! (I'll make you a cuppa)

Alreet, marra? Home town gig today, Carlisle Castle 🤩 #UKProms #musoEP

After 30 years of Labour party membership, I was lost; I have found my new home.

YA FUCKING DANCER!! Now we're talking! This time, we are NOT going to fuck this up. Let's go!!! ❤️✊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Sometimes, the easy jokes are the best ones.

I going to be controversial here! I’m not really concerned about what a punk group said at a music festival. Actually I’m very distressed by the idea that babies are dying because they are being purposefully denied formula milk.

Today's "office"... kind of. Couldn't resist exploring the tree house at Plas Newydd between rehearsal and #UKProms show this eve 😀 #musoEP

A highlight of my week; what a fab portrait from a lovely talented young person I got to meet! New profile pic I reckon. Such attention to detail. Captured my 'thinking lines' beautifully 🤭🥰 #EdPsychs

Everything’s coolio

Thank you to The Hive, Shrewsbury - just as they should, and could, be 🥰
