Anyone fancy a cinnamon bun cup, filled with a ginger cake, vanilla cheesecake, ginger caramel and a mini gingerbread person. Feeling very fortunate after my daughter's baking gang yesterday.

Just the best sign to have across the road from the hospital.

Great to be out in the sunshine, but it's so cold.

Enjoying the low winter sun.

buttondown.com/Risu/archive... Finally finished this after I saw a blog on substack about leaving twitter- educators need to make better tech choices in 2026 No excuses. You can’t give lessons on online harm and then publish on substack or post the football team on Facebook. Or use WhatsApp.

Proper low sunshine #GlimmerOfHope today.

The start of something good for my #GlimmerOfHope today. Just what's needed on a cold afternoon.

Belgian Blue as today's #GlimmerOfHope. Beer that colour always looks a bit odd, but it's still good.

Walk, with cake to share. What better #GlimmerOfHope for a Saturday.

Best Christmas dinner ever turns into best pie ever. #GlimmerOfHope

All lit up in Sheffield. #GlimmerOfHope

Peaceful and powerful on a foggy morning in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. #GlimmerOfHope

Sun's out, market's busy and the Big Wheel's turning. #GlimmerOfHope

Tree lights and present wrapping as my #GlimmerOfHope today. Loving this particular paper.

Fluffy Santa down a back alley. Made me smile. #GlimmerOfHope

Dark so early, but just a #GlimmerOfHope.

Epic Too Good To Go bag as my #GlimmerOfHope. Almost dark super early today, but plenty of goodies.

Fading light on Brincliffe Edge for today's #GlimmerOfHope

Not sure what the collective noun for crumpets is? Maybe @gaiinz.bsky.social knows? One of the joys of a daughter in the food industry as today's #GlimmerOfHope

Sticking with an Italian theme for another #GlimmerOfHope. Meeting up with people from the Champions Cauda Equina charity. It was so good to meet people with similar experiences. Any Christmas meal rounded off with Tiramisu has got to be good too.

After a frazzling day, something tasty was needed. #GlimmerOfHope

Narnia lamps on Frog Walk. Today's #GlimmerOfHope

All that rain gives a perfect #GlimmerOfHope.

Today's #GlimmerOfHope. Enjoying the candles before lighting the tree.

Sunshine, clear skies and a new friend. #GlimmerOfHope

Getting my ducks in a row for a very wet park walk. #GlimmerOfHope

A late #GlimmerOfHope. Beautiful moon and skies tonight.

Today's #GlimmerOfHope with the dying light of the sun.

Daily glimmer from a day with Champions Charity, finding out about all things Cauda Equina.

Glimmer of the day. Can't beat a Christmas Market.

Not sure if a wet hillside quite counts a glimmer of the day, but it was good to get up there.

Glimmer of the day. They're here!

Glimmer of the day. Fairy lights are up.

First festive ness. Mini brick gingerbread character. Looks easy, but was so hard to make.

There are so many amazing education books out there that I thought it would be useful to get your recommendations on different areas. Book thread number 1 - Wellbeing and school culture. Add images and/or links to any great education books you know on this topic. #NewToSLTChat

Emergency spinal surgery. Not words I was expecting to put into a sentence at the start of a new school year. The whole ‘How are you?’ and ‘How was your summer? types of conversation are a little trickier, as there’s no way to keep it light and make small talk when it’s something quite so serious.

Teachers - how many of these are you? 🤭✅ What did @ictevangelist.bsky.social and I miss? #Teachers #Comedy #RISEEduMag @netsupport.bsky.social riseedumag.com/20-things-yo...

Honoured and excited to be judging. Can't wait to see what this year brings.

A stunning few days away in the lakes. Peace and beauty everywhere.

Chilled evening with @oisinleech.bsky.social so The Greystones in Sheffield

So lovely for my class to have a visit from Helen Rutter with her new book #TheBoyWithBigDecisions. Excited to get reading this with them #ScholasticBookFair

Another top night at the Greystones with @spikequireboys.bsky.social

Top night with Amelia Coburn and @jimmoray.bsky.social at The Greystones. (On a school night too...)

Sunset on Rivington Pike, waiting for runners on the Epic Events night run.

First day of back to school. One of ours has made it already.

First commute to new school. Made it through the snow. Think I might like this

We've had some. Not especially looking forward to getting to school in this tomorrow though.
