Some stunning views and scenery in Calderdale this week - from the Bridestones to the Wainhouse Tower 💚

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 💚
View down a green field with a dry stone wall on the right and a large tree in the middle. The mist mostly hides the hills beyond with blue sky above A moss covered crenellated wall in front looking over a misty valley and hazy houses below. The top of a large hillside is visible above the mist with blue sky above

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 💚
Photo of a room filled with books and with wooden pillars, beams all around. It's taken from the first floor looking down onto tables, a parquet floor. There are leaded windows but it's dark outside A white table and two chairs next to an old window with leaded panes. The sun is shining in with the pattern from the window on the wall

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 💚

Sharing my #PhD research here because it's much more than just about Twitter and really about how we use spaces like this positively as well as the huge benefits of less formal exchanges for learning and understanding people's experiences...

More than just a chat? Online teacher-learning communities as sites for professional learning and teacher agency

Made it to work today quite easily,(slightly disappointingly 😉). Have had the excitement of getting my computer reimaged, although would quite like it to have been reimagined instead...

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...!
