Very accessibly written :-) enjoyed it - thank you

Seals at North Gare

Cat-tested quilts made for my two gorgeous humans so they now have a ‘home’ quilt and an ‘away’ (uni) quilt. Very proud but must be viewed from a distance. Hard to sew three layers on a normal machine and not get it puckered - so puckered they are!!

Exactly this!!

Love this :-) je suis la…

This is tragic, one less ‘kind’ voice :-(

Fabulous!

Well, that’s okay then…

Superb!

Well done @ledbydonkeys.org

Meliorism - a wonderful word for a wonderful world…

Wip - my cat appears to approve of my cat quilt!

If ever you needed a reason to boycott #Waitrose -they are nowhere near us in darkest North Yorkshire - but well done #Asda

Lovely evening walk

Fabulous beach walk

Herdy morning!

We've seen some green shoots of recovery for teacher recruitment this year But just like after the one-year Covid boom, government has reacted by slashing spend on bursaries It was a costly decision last time, but perhaps falling rolls may lesson the impact this time round?

Just putting it out there - original ‘evidence’ was debunked, 12 children, cherry picked, who already had autism… later studies with proper scientific methods found no links… #vaccines publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/the-evi...

Delightful

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

Love it at South Gare!!

Fabulous! Keep up the good work :-)

Had the most magical weekend away with my baby group friends (our babies are turning 21!). 10 mile Lake District hike, drunken shenanigans to celebrate big birthdays and a spa afternoon! Feeling daisy fresh inside and out!

Far too many of these around atm

www.theguardian.com/education/20... There’s lots I have to say on this, including the curriculum…

Prominent UK women tell rightwingers: stop linking immigration to sexual abuse Fabulous!

Chuffed to bits with my £1 milk pourer!

Learnt lots, such as proving is not done in the basket, bread sticks in an un-lined Dutch oven, my two boys can’t say Dutch-oven without laughing, and keeping a sourdough starter alive is a full time job… picture the sorcerer’s 🧙 apprentice…. Meet sour dough loaf mcloaf face #sourdough

I made a friend at lunchtime :-)

We’ve all had those year groups!

55 today - #menopause meds check. Not wearing off - hormones dropping, and will keep dropping - will not up dose as on max - ‘I look tired - perhaps I should go PT - as she had done?’ A very middle class NHS solution - if it was a male issue - research? hormone balancing? Rant over…

Out out, two nights in a row. Gary Barlow last night, The Waterboys tonight. Both amazing!!

In light of some recent nonsense, I’ve written about writing. ruthswailes.com/whats-in-a-n...

I love this, not the decline if the water vole, but that the solution includes glitter! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lovely wedding yesterday.
