In between trying to keep warm while working from home I've been making the most of the moments outside. Signs of growth in the garden and birdsong in the woods. Very grateful to be able to see and hear both 💚

A very beautiful walk yesterday to see what was hidden above the cloud. Calderdale is a very special place 💚

Finally @rachelterry.bsky.social and I have managed to be at @gladlib.bsky.social at the same time. A proper pre-Christmas treat (and retreat) in one of my favourite places 💚

Always lovely to have a paper copy of something that you've written. Looking forward to reading the other chapters and really pleased that this is a very accessible and affordable publication for teacher researchers as this is often not the case.

Really grateful to be able to attend this service of remembrance organised by Overgate Hospice today. My dad died in a hospice and what they provide is so important🕯️

Lots of watching and waiting as the water levels rose in the valley throughout the day. Thanks to all who have been helping today and thoughts with everyone affected.

A few minutes of soul food in the woods this morning. Very cold but full of joy 💚

Not quite deserting Twitter completely but hoping to post more regularly here. Have gone from two very full days of LGA training to the lovely IPDA conference to talk about walking, talking and professional identity. Planning to do as little as possible tomorrow...!
