Imagine emails were sent like post use to be- once or twice a day.

How would things change?

Within the first year of my daughter’s life, the Lionesses have won the Euros and the Red Roses have won the World Cup in front of sell-out crowds and huge tv audiences and it’s so wonderful to know she will grow up thinking that of course women play sport and of course everybody watches it

Today was Hampton Court, baby! First of three visits with Y11 for their History Around Us site study for OCR B. It didn't disappoint!

Just on the cover image alone they have just used asked AI to “make a more piratey Hugh Jackman” and left it at that.

I think it needs to have the impact of a Chadwick or a Rowntree report.

“Darling! Guess what! We won £30m on the lottery!”

“Oh that’s amazing! We could buy anything- we’ll get a new house, trust funds for the kids, we’ll give some to charity!”

“Oh. Well, actually, I’ve already spent it….”

It is genuinely weird. The palm has been there 17+ years but clearly decided this year was warm enough to try its reproductive luck

In ‘heat death of the planet’ news: my parents have a *fruiting* banana palm in their Cornish garden.

Exciting but ominous… 🍌🍌🥵

We do it towards the end, once they know enough to understand the debate and recognise the evidence the historian draws on

13 years ago today, I snapped this while crossing London Bridge on my way into town.

Such a moment of optimism and pride in London and these islands.

So what this country needs right now.

71. I was delighted to get my hands on this! A book I really wish I'd had access to as a young history teacher. Extremely thorough and in-depth but I also loved the scenarios and practical lesson/scheme exemplars. Excellent read.

This is true- it might reawaken with curric review, but soft treading will probably mitigate
