Taking 7yo to London for the weekend sounded a good idea. Regretting life choices standing in a huge queue at the station caused by engineering works on another line meaning that we haven't been let onto 2 consecutive trains to Sheffield and are still pretty far back 😭😭😭

Devastated to share the news that was broken to colleagues in Music (and other departments) at the University of Nottingham yesterday. This is obviously a very difficult time for us and our students.

Interested in these replies. Older kiddo is 7 and HP is still very much liked & engaged with by their mates at school, & one of the ways in which they find it easy to socialise is to get into something (Pokemon, Kpop Demon Hunters) and chat about it non stop
has anyone with kids got any thoughts on navigating the Harry Potter issue
